If I had to do it quick and dirty, I would write the boot floppy IMAGE to the hard drive, then dd that to the boot LS-120 floppy (not cartridge, I mean floppy). I think that would work. But I'd like to see Civileme's proposed hack of mkbootdisk. Are you going to add an option to mkbootdisk, something like mkbootdisk --ls120 linux-2.2.14-3 or are you going to make an ls120 program for it like "mkls120boot" or you going to put in some autodetection in the program so that running mkbootdisk will determine whether it has a floppy, a cartridge or whatever and behave accordingly? -- Ramon Gandia --- Sysadmin --- http://www.nook.net 285 West 1st Avenue ISP for Western Alaska P.O.
