Hi, I have clearly misunderstood the making of boot disks and would like some guidance. I made some for each machine here in case or emergency, and thought I would test them, and each one halted with a kernel panic.
I assumed that a floppy in the drive of a working machine followed by the command "mkboot" as root would create a boot disk from the currently running kernel. The disk booted to a panic. I read over the rather small man page and tried the full complement of switches of "mkboot -r /dev/hda3 -i /vmlinuz" but still there is a panic I have 2.2.20 and 2.4.28 on each machine, and want to be able to use a floppy to boot one kernel and another floppy to boot another kernel. How do I make these disks? I have tried the man pages and the books on the shelf, but I am not getting it. What is the right way to create the floppy disks I want? Anyone?
