           Summary: Boot Floppy Created During Installation Will Not Start
                    Linux
           Product: Installation
           Version: 1.847

Installed Linux on partition /dev/hda2 with boot manager in /dev/hda2. (Have
another boot manager in /dev/hda).

Created boot floppy disk during installation. Disk was created successfully.

Tried to boot with newly created floppy. Error message: 'Could not find kernel
image: linux'

I solved this by typing at the boot prompt: 'vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2'. vmlinuz
then loaded off the floppy and started Mandrake Linux correctly from /dev/hda2.

But shouldn't this have been configured in the boot disk when it was created?
