You will end up with a 2.88M floppy image. The way that CDROMs boot is their BIOS loads the floppy image into RAM with a RAM disk, and then boots it as if it were booting a floppy. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
