Now here's a question for the netlanders:
I'm thinking of swapping my two drives, to make the 1.44 meg (in dos language)
a:, and my 1.2 meg drive b:. Does anyone know how I can create a bootable
1.44 meg 386/ix floppy from my 1.2 meg distibution floppy? I tried dd
unsuccessfully, but I could have specified some parameters incorrectly.
This also works for Microport, ESIX, etc...:
Just copy the first track, and then copy the rest. Under esix, copy the
first track using /dev/rdsk/f[01]t, and then copy the rest using
/dev/rdsk/f[01].
Or just copy all the disc but the 1st track using /dev/dsk/f[01], and then
install the boot /etc/fboot on the 1st track using /dev/dsk/f1t.
