At the level of generality you ask, there is no simple answer, other than suggesting you read the Bootdisk HowTo (available at ibiblio.org, for example). There are many types of bootdisks. Some (rescue disks like tomsrtbt, for example, or floppy-based distros like LEAF) are quite general and can boot on most any machine. Others, designed to boot a specific configuration on a particular machine, will work on a different machine only with luck (the two machines need not be identifal, but they need to be quite similar). So ... read the HowTo for general advice.
