I don't know about AT&T UNIX 386, but with ISC's, you can make a bootable floppy by making a filesystem on /dev/dsk/f0q15d (no 't' here), copying the necessary files on it, and dd'ing /etc/fboot onto /dev/rdsk/f0q15dt (that's with a 't' on the end) -- Pim Zandbergen domain : pim@cti-software.nl CTI Software BV uucp : uunet!mcsun!hp4nl!ctisbv!pim Laan Copes van Cattenburch 70 phone : +31 70 3542302 2585 GD The Hague, The Netherlands fax : +31 70 3512837
