I'm having trouble with ntrw and rawrite of all things. My CDs are at home
and I'm trying to install 3.8 on an IBM T20 I just found in the office.

My 3.7 boot floppy works just fine.

With the ntrw.exe I've had for awhile I get:

C:\>ntrw.exe floppy38.fs a:
3.5", 1.44MB, 512 bytes/sector
bufsize is 9216
WriteFile(): a: -- The parameter is incorrect.

With the ntrw.exe I got out of 3.8/tools I get:

C:\>ntrw.exe
This program cannot be run in DOS mode.

With rawrite.exe from 3.7/tools I get:

C:\>rawrite.exe
RaWrite 1.2 - Write disk file to raw floppy diskette

Enter source file name: floppy38.fs
Enter destination drive: a
Please insert a formatted diskette into drive A: and press -ENTER- :
Number of sectors per track for this disk is 18
Writing image to drive A:. Press ^C to abort.
Address mark not foundctor: 4

Not the biggest things in the world as I can just bring in my CDs on Monday
but wanted to fill time this afternoon by installing OpenBSD on this laptop.

Any ideas? Floppy in my desktop bad? I've tried about 8 different floppies
in it now.
