Howto: Create a boot floppy in Solaris UNIX

To create a boot floppy in Solaris, you can use the format utility and the fdformat command. Here are the steps:

  1. Insert a blank floppy disk into your floppy drive.

  2. Open a terminal and use the format utility to create a boot floppy. Type the following command:

format -b
  1. Follow the prompts to select the floppy drive and create the boot floppy.

  2. Once the boot floppy has been created, you can use it to boot your Solaris system.

Note: Keep in mind that boot floppies are no longer commonly used and are generally not necessary for modern systems. If you are setting up a new Solaris system, it is recommended to use a bootable USB drive or CD/DVD instead of a boot floppy.
