Apparently, the "--bios 0" is not very much liked by mkbootdisk.
Surprinsingly, this is in Drakx code since Feb-01; and even the code for
mkbootdisk in 7.2 and 8.0 seems to not contain this option. I guess
"mkbootdisk" with something else than a "fd" floppy drive is pretty much
untested most of the time !?
Pixel, I suppose this "--bios" option should go to "--appendargs", so it
should be written without the "--" ? I let you do the change if this is
correct.
Guran, just to be sure: it detected that your floppy disk is "/dev/sda".
Is it correct?
