* Concern: when using dd to make a floppy from an image, you might need to specify the block size on some systems. (I thought you needed `bs=18b' on FreeBSD as well!) Maybe we should mention this.

I don't think you *need* the blocksize, but I think an appropriate blocksize makes things go a little faster. Am I wrong? Anybody know optimal block sizes?
