You need your NetMAX CD-ROM disk to create a boot floppy. Use this procedure if the floppy you received with your NetMAX purchase is defective or damaged. If you have different versions of NetMAX, remember that the boot floppy must match the version you want to boot.

Windows: Insert a new blank 1.44MB 3.5" floppy disk in Floppy Drive A:. Open up a command prompt and change directory to the 'Floppies' folder on the NetMAX CD-ROM disk. There you will find a batch file called 'makeboot.bat'. Run this batch file by typing "makeboot" to create a NetMAX boot floppy in drive A.

Macintosh: Currently, Cybernet does not support the creation of boot floppies using Macintosh computers. However, using the above procedure with Connectix's Virtual PC does work.

Unix: Insert a new blank 1.44MB 3.5" floppy disk in the floppy drive. Use 'dd' to copy the boot image 'boot.flp' from the 'Floppies' folder on the NetMAX CD-ROM to your floppy drive. For example, under FreeBSD the command would be:

fdformat /dev/rfd0

dd if=/CDROM/Floppies/boot.flp of=/dev/rfd0
