Date: 27 Jan 1993 19:03:59 GMT Organization: I.Physikalisches Institut RWTH-Aachen Lines: 20 Distribution: world Message-ID: <1k6mavINNpsn@urmel.informatik.rwth-aachen.de> Reply-To: kuku@acds.physik.rwth-aachen.de NNTP-Posting-Host: acds.physik.rwth-aachen.de Keywords: boot bootables 3.5" floppy 386BSD I tried - to no avail - to produce a booatble 3.5" floppy because one of the next system I will feed with 386bsd only has 3.5" drives. Also I wanted to build a disk a la fixit.fs containing necessary programs to bootstrap the rest of the system from a running node via rrestore (if anyone has a better idea how to automate and speedup remote installation of 386bsd in a network his/her ideas would be heartly welcome) Anyway - the essential question: Why does my 3.5" disk not boot? I make a disklabel and newfs on it and put a kernel and some stuff to live on it, but I would at least expect, that the bootstrap is entered - I tried with both versions of fdboot (the original and Julians) -- --Chris Christoph P.
