 2.2.6.3. Booting the install system from floppy  
   
 If you need to create installation floppies, you need to copy floppy images to  
 a diskette. The floppy images are available on the NetBSD FTP servers or on a  
 NetBSD install CD. To perform this operation in DOS you can use the rawrite  
 program in the i386/installation/misc directory. For Windows, there's a version  
 in rawr32.zip. The image files are i386/installation/floppy/boot1.fs and i386/  
 installation/floppy/boot2.fs for installation of a "normal" PC. The other  
 floppies that are available are described in more detail in the INSTALL  
 document.  
   
 Note  
   
 Before you write the boot images to floppies, you should always check that the  
 floppies are good: this simple step is often overlooked, but can save you a lot  
 of trouble!  
   
 The procedure to write floppies is:  
   
  1. Format the floppy.  
   
  2. Go to the I386\INSTALLATION\FLOPPY directory of the CD-ROM.  
   
  3. Run the ..\MISC\RAWRITE program (or extract ..\MISC\RAWR32.ZIP if you're on  
     a Windows system, and run the RAWRITE32 program in that file). Usually the  
     "Source file"s are BOOT1.FS and BOOT2.FS and the "Destination drive" is A:  
   
 To create a boot floppy in a Unix environment, the dd command can be used: For  
 example:  
   
 # cd i386/installation/floppy  
 # dd if=boot.fs of=/dev/fd0a bs=36b  
   
 Note  
   
 A 1440K floppy contains 1474560 bytes and is made up of 80 cylinders, 2 tracks,  
 18 sectors and 512 bytes per sector, i.e., 80 * 2 * 18 = 2880 blocks. Thus bs=  
 36b copies one cylinder (18 * 2 blocks) at a time and repeats the operation 80  
 times instead of 2880.
