Hello,

I am trying to write the boot1.fs and boot2.fs images from the 20000314
snapshot on a Sony VAIO PCG-N505VX machine and it is not working. Anyone
got any idea what is causing this:

C:\Incoming\NetBSD\20000314\installation\floppies>..\rawrite
RaWrite 1.2 - Write disk file to raw floppy diskette

Enter source file name: boot1.fs
Enter destination drive: A
Please insert a formatted diskette into drive A: and press -ENTER- :
Can't figure out how many sectors/track for this diskette.

C:\Incoming\NetBSD\20000314\installation\floppies>a:

A:\>chkdsk

    1,457,664 bytes total disk space
    1,457,664 bytes available on disk

          512 bytes in each allocation unit
        2,847 total allocation units on disk
        2,847 available allocation units on disk

      651,264 total bytes memory
      606,912 bytes free

Instead of using CHKDSK, try using SCANDISK.  SCANDISK can reliably detect
and fix a much wider range of disk problems.

If it matters, the floppy drive is connected to the system via the USB.

Thanks,

Brian
