I have spent the large portion of a day trying to get my machine (IBM
ps/2 model 70) to boot from a Tiny 386BSD Floppy. The only floppy
drive I have is a 3.5 and I've tryed almost everything I can think of
(using rawrite on my 1.44 and booting, modifying rawrite to only write
15 sectors per track,...). As you know with an IBM product, I can't
"fake" like I have a 1.2 floppy.

Every attempt I make gives the eternal floppy light on syndrome. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks, ben a blake
