Thanks for pointer, Jeff. Thought there must be more to it. Anyhow, could not get fd0u1760 floppy to boot after getting and running syslinux (however, it would mount and could ls and edit files, e.g., syslinux.cfg). Using this same method on a fd0u1680 floppy boots fine -- but had to cut out sshd :(. Possibly fd0u1743 or 1722 would work but still too small. At least I understand what is going on a bit better.

Is it possible to build a Bering 1.0 image for a 1760k floppy? Would it work in a typical fd drive? The developer guide seems to produce an output file called linux.upx. It sort of implies it is a disk image (size 1680k?). How do you produce a 1760k image? I don't think you can just format a 1780 floppy and copy files or dd from a 1680k floppy. Any pointers or advice would be most appreciated.The following link should answer your pb. http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=1416&group_id=13751 Do not forget fo modify the syslinux.cfg file Jacques
Almost. You also have to run the syslinux utility to make the diskette bootable. This all works best on a linux workstation... Windows doesn't really get along with odd size disks very well.Just need to specify the fd device (size) in syslinux.cfg and it will boot. Will try it when I get a chance.
