I make a boot disk by using rdev and then simply coping the kernel to
the floppy. Here is the steps:
Tell the kernel your root partition with rdev "location of kernel"
"location of root partition"
example- rdev /boot/vmlinuz2.0.36 /dev/fd0
Copy the kenel to a floppy with cp /boot/vmlinuz2.0.36 /dev/fd0
Now just boot from the floppy.
I have a question about doing it this way? ......Yes I know I suggested it :)
When I try to mount this floppy it will not mount. It says the file
system is not correct and I have tried several. I use fdformat
/dev/fd0H1440 to format the floppy. When I copy the kernel to it it asks if
I want to overwrite /dev/fd0 (I say yes). Why does it ask this?
