Date: 19 Jun 1994 04:50:06 GMT Organization: Computer Science Undergrad Assoc, UCBerkeley Lines: 15 Message-ID: <2u0ipu$cm2@agate.berkeley.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: soda.berkeley.edu Hello again... Short and to the point: I recently recompiled my kernel and I want to test it out by booting off of a floppy. Problem is that I can't figure out a simple way to copy to floppy. I'm assuming that one must mount /dev/fd0 (or whatever the floppy drive "a:" is) as a filesystem first. But I may easily be wrong. After RTFMing and reading the FAQ and checking a book, I haven't found much that works. It's all rather confusing. I didn't bother to ask the Computer Science Undergraduate Association here 'cause they tend to give hostile answers, if any at all...so a friendly answer (like those I have received here in the past) would be most appreciated. Thank you. Tony
