test" boot-floppies set for slink has been uploaded
And now the bad news:
The rescue floppy doesn't fit in 1.44MB anymore, so I've built a 1.743
MB
floppy image. That means you'll have to "superformat /dev/fd0u1743" the
floppy before doing a "dd if=foo of=/dev/fd0u1743 ...". This format is
still readable(¿writable?) under MS-DOS and W95.
---------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure that the ls120 floppy drive can read a 1.743 mb floppy.
Many newer computers don't even come with a real floppy drive and now
use the ls120 instead. Also the superformat program won't work on an
ls120, since it talks to the floppy controler directly. In fact I've
yet to see a floppy formater for linux that CAN work on the ls120
drive.
(if anyone has the command set for the ls120 atapi drive available I
will try to write a formater).
