cfdisk on server with problem - sda1 is already marked as boot (as well it should be since that is /boot) but of course, the difference between mine and the remote server, mine has no raid so it shows /boot as the label - on the remote server - it shows autodetect as label - because it is md0 of the raid array I would assume. I can't reboot unless it is after hours and I am there to pop floppy disk out and monitor boot process but there is nothing to change - of course, I will try it anyway - writing that. I think I will need next step but I won't be able to test this step out until tomorrow. ---- > > As far as coppying the floppy, try this: > > (put your current disk in drive A:) > dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/tmp/temp.img > (change disks) > dd if=/tmp/temp/img of=/dev/fd0 > > Mikkel > --------- Thanks for the consideration and very good to see that you're back amongst us again. Did you get another DSL connection? Also - I recognize your typo in the second line - when I write from the temp file to the new floppy.
