I've installed on platforms ranging from Pyramid, through AIX and HP to Linux, NetBSD and BSDI. However, I've run into something with boot.flp from 2.2.1-RELEASE that I just can't get past. I dl'd the fdimage program and boot.flp. My problem is that boot.flp was 1,474,567 and my floppy is 1,457,155 . I tried fdimage, rawrite, and dd with no luck (Initial screen comes up, but it can't find /kernel). I looked at the other images, and they are all the same size. What am I missing?
