The installer option to produce a boot 1.44 floppy, if you can manage to find it from its hiding place, produces only an ?Error!" message.
That floppy will not boot the system.
Trying explicitly leads to exactly the same behaviour and again produces a disk which will not boot:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ron]# uname -r 2.4.22-10mdk [EMAIL PROTECTED] ron]# mkbootdisk 2.4.22-10mdk Insert a disk in /dev/floppy/0. Any information on the disk will be lost. Press <Enter> to continue or ^C to abort: cp: writing `/tmp/mkbootdisk/initrd.img': No space left on device Error ! [EMAIL PROTECTED] ron]#
This is a very basic and essential requirement which should not be in any way hidden.
Using the rescue mode of CD1 remains the only way to recover from an unbootable (lilo, grub, XOSL, etc.) system. hd or network installed systems do not have any CDs, nor can they be made with mkcd on an unbootable system. Catch 22?
