I have no trouble getting an image file of a floppy using:
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=./image bs=18k
I'm perplexed as to why I can't do it the other way around.
That is, why can't I take an image file and put it on a
floppy with:
dd if=./image of=/dev/fd0 bs=18k
Attempts to do that yield all sorts of bizaar results up to
and including a panic re-boot.
Any comments are appreciated.
