Dear Folks, Because I have several hard drives with several versions of FreeBSD for experimental purposes I use boot floppies for better control. I am having a problem with revision 3.1 because I cannot create a boot floppy on an ordinary 1.4 MB set of floppies. The floppy image is about 2.9 MB, and of course will not fit on a single floppy. When I use fdimage, I immediately get a diagnostic reminding me of this. Is there a version of fdimage or other utility that is built to split up the boot disk into 2 usable floppies? I contacted the technical support line, and they said that this was a new question to which they did not have an answer. They suggested that I mail you. I am writing an article on using FreeBSD for our scientific software Web page to entice people to try FreeBSD, along with some other promotional efforts I am trying for FreeBSD. Thanks for your kind attention and a wonderful operating system.
