Very interesting! Thank you for the pointer. However, I must be doing something wrong... I write the boot.img file to a floppy. I can boot from the floppy. I put the floppy in the drive on MacOS-9.2.2 and it gets mounted by MacOS. I start up ResEdit and open the "System" file on the floppy. I double-click on the "CMDL" resource. As a minimal test, I change one blank to two, then erase one of them (that is: effectively no change), then "save" the result. Everything looks good -- the System file still has the "blessed" icon. But when I try to boot my test machine from the floppy, it takes a taste and spits it out immediately. In the process, MacOS-9.2.2 has created a bunch of extraneous stuff on the floppy -- such as a "Users" folder, etc. I don't think that should cause any problems, but if so, how do I get rid of them? Thanks! Rick
