Creating AIX Boot Diskettes

# format

This formats the floppy in about two minutes.

   # bosboot -d /dev/fd0 -a
   

2. Label a diskette Display, place in the drive, and type:

   # /usr/sbin/mkdispdskt
   

3. Label a diskette Display Extension, place in the drive, and type:

   # /usr/sbin/mkextdskt
