FDformat can make these kinds of disks for DOS systems ( ftp://ftp.univ-lille1.fr/pub/pc/coast/msdos/diskutil/fdform18.zip , FDformat has sources included (PASCAL)). I also read that mtools might be able to create >1.44MB floppies. So what would it take to get FreeBSD to create 1.68/1.72MB floppies for the release floppies? That would give an extra 240-280K for the boot floppy. Would fdimage need to be updated or replaced?
