Still the same problem. The image is 1,474,567 and the disk is 1,45?,??? (Can't rememeber exactly). When I do boot the disk, I get the FreeBSD header, it tried to boot kernel, and says it can't find it. Thats alot more than I expected since it didn't write the entire .flp to the disk. I looked around, and EVERY image is 1,474,567 . Logic dictates to me that everyone should experience the same problem. But they don't. I've formatted the disk a few times, there are NO bad parts to it. When you format a floppy, what is the final byte count? Tuc/TTSG -- Scott J.
