I'd like to do the equivalent of dd if=/dev/fd0 bs=1k skip=1439
without having to read through the 1439 blocks in question; that is, to not treat the floppy as a sequential device. This is running out of a floppy boot image (not Debian's, my own) so I don't have perl available, though I do have awk. I'd prefer not to have to write a C hack for it, as that's my last resort; I know it would be easy, I just don't want to re-invent the wheel. Any suggestions of tools I could use?
