	I have a 386 klone running AT&T UNIX 3.2.1.  The media
	is 5.25.  For various reasons, I need to go to a single
	3.5 1.44 meg floppy.  I have been able to transfer all
	the 5.25 disks to 3.5 except for the boot floppy.
	I tried dd'ing (track 1 seperate from the rest), and
	making a fs on the 3.5, transfering the filesystem
	of the 5.25 to it (it now mounts fine, and is identical
	to the 5.25), but cannot get it to boot.  I tried dd'ing
	/etc/fboot to track 1, but no go.  Is /etc/fboot specific
	to 5.25??
	Thanks for any info.
