using dd to dump an image file to a floppy
Everyone, I'm trying to make boot and kern floppies, using dd, as follows: Cdrom is mounted, floppy is mounted (and I have test written to it) I have the 6.2 disk 1 in the cdrom drive (the floppies directory contains the disk images I'd like to write) I'm in the /cdrom directory When I try to disk image the boot.flp file, here's what happens: # dd if=floppies/boot.flp of=/dev/fd0 dd: /dev/fd0: Operation not permitted I keep getting the operation not permitted message. As I said before, I CAN write to the fd0 (floppy drive), and I am logged in as root. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, John So here's to the role of time, patience, and reflection in our lives. If we believe it is better to build than to destroy, better to live and let live, better to be than to be seen, then we might have a chance, slowly, to find a satisfying way through life, this flicker of consciousness between two great silences. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maybe you just unmount your floppy before doing dd if=floppies/boot.flp of=/dev/fd0. It's blocked. Thanks, John So here's to the role of time, patience, and reflection in our lives.
