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 .
