As I mentioned, the patch does too much. Can you post a > new patch that produces a single 8MB MFSBOOT "floppy" image? >=20 MFSBOOT? This is something new. :-) I guess you mean the current boot.flp by it, right? If yes, I can't see a point in having it, so please explain. How it could be used? For sparc64, boot.flp is useful, beause "you can dd it to a disk =66rom solaris and then boot off it to install", according to Jake. Can the same be made on Alpha? Otherwise, I don't see a point in having it. The idea is to have a miniboot.iso that just resembles the contents of the boot.flp, but can be used to boot off the CD-ROM (and then do an FTP installation, for example).
