Hey, this is a slick little port. You did all I ever wanted to do with the whole "bootstrap" procedure and far more! Kudos! However, it just wouldn't be the same without a few nit-picks as well, so.. :-) 1. This thing talks about 720K diskettes all over the place. I don't know about most of you out there, but this would be an instant turn-off to 90% of the people I know. They would think (as I did) "I don't even HAVE a 720K drive anymore - can I use a 1.44MB image?" And then the next question from your novice FreeBSD user is "what device do I use?" I think that the emulator should presume the most common scenario first and foremost, *also* discussing what do with 720K floppies for those few that have them. 2. It's "information" not "informations". :-) Otherwise, this looks very good! It's too bad it doesn't drop into a little DOS program at the end that says "Please insert a bootable DOS floppy and press return" for the image to be made automatically, but that's kind of pushing it I guess.. :-) Jordan
