- I tried - to no avail - to produce a booatble 3.5" floppy
- because one of the next system I will feed with 386bsd only has 3.5" drives.
- Also I wanted to build a disk a la fixit.fs containing necessary
- programs to bootstrap the rest of the system from a running node via
- rrestore (if anyone has a better idea how to automate and speedup
- remote installation of 386bsd in a network his/her ideas would be heartly welcome)
-
- Anyway - the essential question: Why does my 3.5" disk not boot? I make a disklabel and newfs on it and put a kernel and some stuff to live on it,
- but I would at least expect, that the bootstrap is entered - I tried with
- both versions of fdboot (the original and Julians)
