To: small@freebsd.org Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2000 16:36:02 -0800 (PST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL43 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: rizzo@iguana.aciri.org Sender: owner-freebsd-small@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, i was trying to make picobsd work with non-standard floppy formats (1722k specifically), but i am having a hard time. Basically, the boot2 code says "Not ufs", i think this is because it tries to read from the disk using the BIOS and the BIOS only knows about the 80 track/18 sector format, and not the 82*21 format used for 1722k. Am i correct ? This is really bad because in the additional 300K there would be a lot of stuff one could squeeze in. cheers luigi ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
