I am using bl3 in a 386 with 8Mby and hercules monitor.
I have little space in this computer's HD.
I removed the X11 subdiretory.
I want to build a new 6Mby FS.IMG (hercules.img)

----------------------------------------------
dd if=/dev/zero of=hercules.img bs=1k count 6k
----------------------------------------------
works, but:
-----------------------
mke2fs -m0 hercules.img
-----------------------

gives:

"hercules.img is not a block special device"

What am I doing wrong ?
