Thanks, Steven ... the pre-made qemu version works great.

But i'm still wondering ... when booting from the floppy version,
why doesn't the switch from floppy1 to floppy2 work in qemu?
(i know, i probably need to ask this on the qemu forum instead of here...)

When i boot from floppy1 and stop the boot at that point,
and take a look at /etc/rc, i see this line:

<quote>
until [ -e /fd/disk2.tgz ]; do
</quote>

which is exactly why i tried renaming the image file using
lowercase instead of uppercase ... but it didn't help.
What exactly does "-e" mean?
