I was sure I'd find the answer in an FAQ file, but.... How does one make a boot floppy with AT&T SV/386 R3.2.2? It should have (at least) the current \unix (or at least a special one that includes the drivers for the Consensys ESDI HD controller and the WangDAT SCSI DAT controller so that after booting, I can restore from a full-backup DAT tape.

To make a copy of it do: 1) Insert original boot floppy. 2) dd if=/dev/rdsk/f0t of=/tmp/IMAGE bs=15b 3) Remove original boot floppy and insert new floppy 4) format -i2 /dev/rdsk/f0q15dt (for 5.25") or format -i2 /dev/rdsk/f03ht (for 3.5") This MUST MATCH ORIGINAL BOOT FLOPPY 5) dd if=/tmp/IMAGE of=/dev/rdsk/f0t bs=15b 6) fsck -y /dev/rdsk/f0 7) mount /dev/dsk/f0 /mnt Then replace /unix or whatever else you want to replace on the boot floppy. Be carefull about space, their ain't much left. Sincerely, John Ben Urban
