Define successful? Boots the system with some problems identifying the CD ROM as an SCSI device with dialogue to change devices, asks does one want to run the configuration tool. Ignore this, and the system boots and runs without any obvious problems. then if you reboot without the floppy disk the same dialogue comes up again. Some devices altered or not recognised, ignore again, and everything works fine also. Fixes itself? I may not create a boot floppy the right way? This is also on a standard kernel. 2.4.21-0.13mdk Format floppy to DOS filesystem Place into the floppy drive but do not mount Use drakboot Select Lilo/Grub mode /Configure Bootloader main options /Advanced Enable Create bootdisk OK When complete just click OK Never fails on different machines. But having said that, might have brought the devil to the door. With Red Hat have created a boot floppy during install that has all the files but they have been empty, and the floppy didn't work.
