Very Computer

I'm trying to copy jensen.img (RH5.0) to a Jensen using copyboot.  99%
of the time it fails with the following error -:

INPUT DEVICE ERROR: STATUS=8

It only ever fails after exactly 720 blocks.  It is a 2.88MB disk drive
which reads my 1.44 floppy with copyboot and
minilabel OK.

Is this a hardware problem or what?.

On the occasions that copyboot works, aboot fails.   I want to try other
things to get around the aboot problem but I can't
until I get copyboot to consistently copy the kernel image to the HDD.

Help....

: You have to set the Floppy type to 2.88 MB in the NT console setup.
: It's available from the 'Set up the system' menue.
Especially you should mention that this setup is lost under various
conditions! Check it even if yout think you did it ;(
