Hello, I'm stuck... I need a bootable DOS floppy (for BIOS upgrade) to fix a broken Windows box. I have no problem formatting and putting an msdosfs on a floppy but it appears I cannot make it bootable with native tools. I tried emulators/mtools mformat, but it doesn't create bootable media. I even installed emulators/qemu and installed Win98 into it but format fails trying to format the host's floppy. I'm in a bit of a time crunch here, does anyone know how do create a bootable DOS floppy using just FreeBSD and/or it's ports? -- Regards, Doug
