- Bootable floppy 'fix':
-
- with the boot disk in fd0 and a formatted flop handy do:
-
- dd if=/dev/fd0 of=image.temp
- cd /usr/src
- cc rdev.c -o rdev
- ./rdev -?
- ./rdev -v /image.temp
- ./rdev -v /image.temp -1
- ./rdev -v /image.temp
- Insert blank flop in fd0
- dd if=image.temp of=/dev/fd0
-
- reboot
-
- Catch Ya Later!
