I used one recently to fix something on a box here at work. The box *has* a CD-ROM drive (even DVD-ROM) but we don't have easy access to CD/DVD *writers* and couldn't wait for shipment of a ready-made CD (e.g. the official OpenBSD one). So had to write an install floppy, boot it, use "s" and what is available there was enough to fix things up to being able to boot from hard disk again and fix the rest from there. >Paul Kind regards, Hannah.
