If you're using a 1.4MB floppy drive, then the dbootstrap program wants to read the drivers from the "drv14" driver series. Unfortunately, the floppy images available for download were created as "drv14-sun4cdm". You can work around this by downloading the "floppy_split.c" and "floppy_split.h" from "http://cvs.debian.org/boot-floppies/utilities" and then make floppy_split to create an executable. Now strip the headers off your original floppy image: tail -c+513 driver-1.bin >fooey tail -c+513 driver-2.bin >>fooey ... and use your new floppy_split program to create new headers: ./floppy_split fooey drv14 1440 You should now have two files named "drv14-1.bin" and "drv14-2.bin". Transfer these to floppy and try again. Note that this is only a workaround. The real fix is to have the "dbootstrap" program accept a platform-specific qualifier (e.g, the "-sun4cdm") in the floppy series name. This qualifier would have to come from a command-line argument specified in a platform-specific "/etc/inittab". Or, if the goal is to maintain a single root floppy for all platforms, from the platform-specific kernel (e.g, via the "/proc" interface). -- Reg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
