I get a panic: /mnt: bad dir ino 3 at offset 0: mangled entry where /dev/vnd0a is mounted on /mnt. This always occurs at the first command after copying the crunched binary, e.g.: COPY ..../kcbin kcbin LINK kcbin bin/cp [crash here] Any pointers before I learn more than I want to about creating floppies? kcbin is 417792 bytes, so I don't think this is a size problem. Thanks, // marc
