Topic: sne 5.0 ,update2 . floppy problem and suggested solution

[rob fantini]

Hello
 I just upgraded our backup  ver4.1.? server to 5.0 , and installed the update 2 blade.

 I see in devinfo that the floppy problem has already been reported.

 To developers:

 You may want to check out the use of
brw-rw----    1 root     floppy     2,  60 Mar 23  2001 /dev/fd0u1722

 See  http://www.toms.net/rb/  [link to a great site for getting a generic root/boot floppy or cd ].

Using /dev/fd0u1722 a kernel of this size:
 -rw-------    1 500      root      1763328 May  5 18:52 tomsrtbt.raw
can be put on a 'regular' floppy.

 In case you are not familiar with the use of /dev/fd0u1722 you maight want to download tomsrtpb and check out how he
gets a  1.7mb+  image on diskette.
