Hello Joep, I hardly have any experience with the "diskwait" command, AFAIK this specific code didn't change since it was introduced in Dachstein years ago.
I hope someone on this list which actually uses this feature can tell something more about it. I think it's primary goal was to support a rescue disk, looking at the code it doesn't seem to be possible to get the functionality you are looking after. What is possible is to use a second floppy drive and add both device in the PKGPATH, this way all packages from both floppies are loaded.

I tested diskwait the following way: > On the first disk I have the necessary files + root,lrp and libcrpto.lrp > as they are large. This disk is 1.34 MB.
