Hello,
I'm stuck... I need a bootable DOS floppy (for BIOS upgrade) to fix a
broken Windows box.
I have no problem formatting and putting an msdosfs on a floppy but it
appears I cannot make it bootable with native tools.
I tried emulators/mtools mformat, but it doesn't create bootable media.
I even installed emulators/qemu and installed Win98 into it but format
fails trying to format the host's floppy.
I'm in a bit of a time crunch here, does anyone know how do create a
bootable DOS floppy using just FreeBSD and/or it's ports?
