The media is 5.25. For various reasons, I need to go to a single 3.5 1.44 meg floppy. I have been able to transfer all the 5.25 disks to 3.5 except for the boot floppy. I tried dd'ing (track 1 seperate from the rest), and making a fs on the 3.5, transfering the filesystem of the 5.25 to it (it now mounts fine, and is identical to the 5.25), but cannot get it to boot. I tried dd'ing /etc/fboot to track 1, but no go. Is /etc/fboot specific to 5.25?? Thanks for any info. -randy -- Randy Suess randy@chinet.chi.il.us
