	2880+0 records in
	2880+0 records out
	
4. Eject disk 1, insert disk 2

5. Type:
	
	ren:2# dd if=FsckDisk2.dd of=/dev/rfd0b conv=sync

To boot from these floppies, insert disk 1 and boot the machine.  When it prompts you to "Insert the filesystem", insert disk 2 and hit a key.  You will come up in single user mode and be able to fsck your hard drive.
