Luigi. Thank you, your advise was very helpfull. However, I supposed to boot from it, but didn't get anyting except the FreeBSD BOOT loader. That's bad. I miss about 30KB on a usual fd1440 diskette to run my PicoBSD build on, that's why I'm digging into this format. Can you suggest me something in this case? Looks like FreeBSD BOOT loader doesn't know anything about disk partitioning for such "stressed" formats. -- Alexander Prohorenko, Extra Solutions http://extra.com.ua "Good day to be alive, sir" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
