What I don't get is why you'd ever want floppy-emu when you can use scsi2sd (for the Plus)?

The problem I have had with just a SCSI2SD for my plus is that mini vMac doesn't support partitioned disks. So to bootstrap I had to

1: write a disk tools disk using a greaseweazel 2: Boot the Plus and set up the partition etc 3: carve out just the partition to a disk image using dd 4: attach the resulting disk image to vMac, set everything up how I wanted it 5: copy the disk image back into its partition using dd

Thanks for this!
