See below. (I am trying to make lilo boot hdc1 from a floppy).

^^^^^^^
I don't seem to have a zImage to copy to the floppy (Slackware 4,
2.2.6), at least not in / or /boot. What is the difference between
zImage and vmlinuz? And how do I get a zImage? Or, can I substitute
/vmlinuz for zImage? Also, do I need to copy a map file to the floppy?
If so, would that be /boot/system.map?

This is my latest lilo.flop (I used /mnt instead of /mnt/minix):
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/fd0
#compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.
delay = 50
vga = normal # force sane state
ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting
map = /mnt/map
install = /mnt/boot.b
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /mnt/vmlinuz
root = /dev/fd0
label = help
After running # lilo -C /etc/lilo.flop
it says # "ot a number: "50
Thanks,
Kurt
