Has anyone actually tried this and find it works? One thing I did noticed
though. I downloaded the rawrite that was in this directory (the one in
the 386BSD directory) and the .doc file reads ....

Write a disk image file to a 360K floppy disk.

while the file we want to put onto the floppies are of high density
(1.2MB or 1.44MB). I tried it anyways but when I rebooted using this
floppy, my 386 (with 4 MB RAM and the required 387) just reads drive
A: forever (it's been a good 5 mins now and still going but nothing
else is happening). Which newsgroup did this discussion originated from?
Perhaps I should join that group and read what bug reports have been
posted already.
