I have a 386 klone running AT&T UNIX 3.2.1. The media
is 5.25. For various reasons, I need to go to a single
3.5 1.44 meg floppy. I have been able to transfer all
the 5.25 disks to 3.5 except for the boot floppy.
I tried dd'ing (track 1 seperate from the rest), and
making a fs on the 3.5, transfering the filesystem
of the 5.25 to it (it now mounts fine, and is identical
to the 5.25), but cannot get it to boot. I tried dd'ing
/etc/fboot to track 1, but no go. Is /etc/fboot specific
to 5.25??
Thanks for any info.
