>Description:
The boot floppy image at:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/i386/snapshot/20000620-1.5/installation/floppies/boot-big.fs
doesn't work with mkhybrid due to the image being the wrong size. This prevents me from making a
bootable cd-rom
>How-To-Repeat:
mkdir -p cdfiles/i386
rsync -e ssh -vax --delete --exclude 'Split' ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/arch/i386/snapshot/20000620-1.5/installation .
cd ../..
mkhybrid -o myimage.iso -b i386/installation/floppies/boot-big.fs -c boot.catalog -J -r -a -l -L cdfiles
now see it say:
Size of boot image is 3816 sectors ->
Error - boot image is not the an allowable size.
