Um, no, the documented way to write floppies out is with 'dd'. This is raw device access; there is no problem with partition tables. I have attempted to burn boot-floppies for a SUN4u architecure using x86 and had no luck, even when 'fdformat'ing from SunOS (5.6) and the (on x86) using dd with bs=1024. No luck. So, um, is it a Sun4u problem? Is there any way to write boot floppies for sparc at all from x86? [Yes, I am able to tftp boot -- I'm concerned about the documentation, so that's why I care.] -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
