Never have I thought that i would ever use a floppy disk again. It's been years since I even see one other than the one I stole from high school library. But, well, I am happy I did. Old PC, CD/DVD port not working, HDD is fried, need a new one anyways, but there is no way to boot it up. I can always try to disassemble one of my server and insert the HDD to try to install something useful on top, but that would not be pretty. Luckily, Open BSD folks still have there boot floppy disk around and allow for network install. Just got a new floppy image from one of the mirrors, boot to the floppy and voila, a new backup file server is ready.
It was fun...
