Andrea,

So if I do not have a USB or a cd writer on my machine then I
am out of luck?

Nestor :-)

Ehm.. you should use the device (/dev/...) and not the mountpoint... anyway,
probably the space available in a floppy is not enough to contain the
kernel+initrd.img. The command is typically used to create a bootable USB flash,
or an external autoinstall disk to be used as boot media for SystemImager.
