CVS commit: src/distrib/common



Module Name:    src
Committed By:   dsl
Date:           Sat Jun 12 18:39:53 UTC 2004

Modified Files:
        src/distrib/common: buildfloppies.sh

Log Message:
The code to pad floppies could sometimes overwrite the end of the kernel
(causing the decompress to generate random data).
I've changed it to pad using:
        dd if=xx.fs of=xx.fs conv=sync conv=notrunc bs=${floppysize}b count=1
which isn't subject to rounding errors!
This might be the fix for PR/25552
