>Description:
The rawrite.exe DOS utility in the NetBSD i386 ftp files is not working.  Attempts to use the version posted on the NetBSD site have always created a non-working image.  Rawrite usually errors out with a 'bad sector' on disk failure.  Norton Disk Doctor does not find any problems with the disk and subsequent use of the disk is not impared in any way.

>How-To-Repeat:
Use rawrite.exe to create an image file of boot1.fs or boot2.fs from the i386 port.

>Fix:
Downloading rawrite from another source (mainly ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/6.1/dosutils/rawrite/ ).  This takes care of the problem.
