I am interested in installing 386BSD on my system, so I downloaded the
"Tiny 386bsd" and "Fixit" floppy image files, along with the rawrite.exe
program.  I found, though, that thsese seem to be images for 1.2meg 5.25"
disks, and I was wondering if I could use the same files to create 1.44meg
3.5" boot disks, because my boot drive is a 3.5".  I will break down and
switch the cables if I need to, but I would much rather be able to just
make 1.44meg boot disks.  Email responses, and thanks in advance for the
help!
