An alternative could be to mount a disk image file, as far as the filesystem driver is concerned that should work (The notorious 'should work') the same way as a device node, I think. Then, when you're done with the disk image, unmount it and copy the file raw to /dev/fd0. I do not have my AMD64 system yet, but it's on my budget for April so I can't reproduce the problem locally yet, I'm afraid. Best regards. -- Erik H. Bakke
