Trying to figure another way to get a BSD 2.9 image on to my Pro-350

[Tim Radde]

Using the methods I found online I got the root system installed.  But the /usr floppy

images are not reading correctly.  I am wondering if there is some way to take an existing 

maybe xhomer BSD image and somehow import it into the MFM system.  I see others have asked similar questions about other systems.  Why did DEC have to so screw up the Pro's?

Yeah, I know why but its a shame they did.

It depends on if DEC controller/software did strange remapping of the disk.
If xhomer wraps the disk data in a container you will need to write/use
software to add/remove it.

You can try ext2emu to convert a xhomer image or try an extracted data file of
a working disk with xhomer.

I can't say if they wrap the file system or not.  So I am going the create real floppies using IMD.  Should get me to a bootable system. Thank you for replying.
