My first guess, is that the floppy is "empty". Microsuk likes to place "unformat" info in hidden blocks. Use either MSDOS format or mformat under FreeBSD (if you have a system available). If you format it under MSDOS, be sure to use the /u switch (I think that's right) to specify unconditional. You are using a 3.5 1.44MB floppy, right ??
