Shoelace for linux should be useable. winiboot does not seem to destroy the disklabel. For novice, beware that the floppy must be taken off from its drive completely when 386BSD boots up. My system is a 386DX 25Mhz with C&T386 chipset. When I copied from fixit.fs to hard-disk, I cannot execute becuase the access rights are only rw although umask is 0. Is there anyone who knows the reason for that? -- Othman bin Ahmad, School of EEE, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 2263.
