To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.com (Free BSD Questions list) Date: Thu, 23 Jan 1997 11:04:46 -0500 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk i thought that I could gab the fixit/flp image and dd it to a diks to create an emergency backup boot floppy. However this doesn't seem to work. When I try to boot from this floppy the system just goes into an infinite rety loop. I put the image on the floppy wiht dd if=fixit.flp of-/dev/fd0. id I do something wrong here? -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95.
