Running BSDI 2.0. Server died and on reboot, it wants to erase the
password files! (fsck errors). I had this happen a while back and
fixed everything using my original floppies. Well, as luck would have
it, they're bad! I can't get either of my BSDI servers to boot with
them.

I need a way to make those disks, or at least a bootable set. I've got
the CD with the boot images on it, but don't know how to get them to
floppy. 

Also, I'm getting "blue line" errors from the floppy controller on my
good box that says something about "unexpected interrupt". 

Help! Anyone got an answer? Since this is so urgent, please email me
with any suggestions.

Thanks,
Brent
