You just want a blank formatted disk. The 1.44MB kern.flp and > mfsroot.flp files will fit on there if done properly with fdimage or > rawrite. Actually, system files or not, it doesn't matter, fdimage/rawrite will clobber the disk's contents and fit it without a problem. It is recommeded that one does a full format of each diskette to prevent errors. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
