error :

VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER

when i press ENTER it says :

modprobe:modprobe: Can't open dependencies file
/lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/modules.dep (No such file or directory)
VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 02:00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:00

please advise.





Hello there.

In my case, i am using mkcdrec ( Make CD-ROM Recovery ). This will make
an exact replica of any linux box system and with your requirement it
can exclude any directory you may want to exclude during the process in
its Config.sh . Try looking it at  http://www.freshmeat.net . It works
for me :-)
