I made two boot floppies from Slackware 4's setup program, and made
several more using:
# fdformat /dev/fd0h1440
# rdev /vmlinuz /dev/hdc1
# cp /vmlinuz /dev/fd0
and even tried # dd if=bare.i of=/dev/fd0 obs=18k. None have worked.
I'll look at mkbootdisk but I'm not optimistic about it working (see my
other post to Lawson).
Thanks,
