It's only null's, just confirmed.  I guess it never gets written, only the
file gets padded with zeroes before.

Correct.  Let's see.  the $rootimage is empty, bad...
Hmm, it's not empty for 1440, funny...

Hmm, I found the problem:

# do the actual work of making the disk bootable.
if [ $blocks -le 1400 ]; then
    rootimage=$(tempfile -p rimg -m 644)
    echo -n >$rootimage
fi

This empties the rootimage for 1200 disks.  I wonder wth this code was
supposed to do?

Ok, it's fixed in cvs.

Regards,

	Joey
