Are you discussing about floppy-144.gz of NetBSD-1.3_BETA
distribution? Is that really a floppy disk image?

% ls -l floppy-144.gz

% gunzip floppy-144.gz
% ls -l floppy-144
-rw-r--r--  1 takuya-k  is-student  3741616 Dec 12 08:30 floppy-144
                                    ^^^^^^^
% file floppy-144
