I'd suggest trying the NetBSD rawrite.exe - I have found that the linux
version produces corrupted diskettes sometimes.   Also, make sure that
your diskettes have 1,457,664 bytes of free disk space (that is, they have
no errors) before you start; I find it easiest to dos format the floppies
to be sure they format with no errors.
