So, I bought a 64M CF card for my digital camera - been using 16M
cards previously. 

I put the card into my trusty old toshiba  to copy the pics onto my
server, and disklabel gives me:

The specs for wd1 are clearly bogus 1283M (cf. 64M)

I donwloaded the 1.5 bootlap floppy images, but it does not have wd1
configured. 

I don't have an i386 running 1.5 or even close yet, and don't want to
upgrade this laptop until I can test that reading of CF cards will
work at least as well as before.

If someone could build me a boot floppy with PCMCIA configured as well
as wd0 and wd1 and ep0, that would be a big help.

Thanks
