Well, I used the one listed in the main install doc: dd if=file of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 conv=sync ; sync I even preserved the whitespace. Except, I replaced the word "file" with root.bin, of course. But, just for fun, I duplicated the command you sent me, and the output I get is: 2880+0 records in 2880+0 records out Then, nothing. I still hear it just spinning...I now have two "dd" processes that I can't kill. :-) Russell
