Not to my knowledge.

Well, what I did is to boot from a non-RAIDed drive (IDE or SCSI) and then
use the array for /usr, /var, /home, /archive, etc.
don't really have a non-raid disk to spare. I'm already nicking
the hot spare from an NT box to make up the neccessary 3 disks
for raid5

Should be easy enough. You can mount the /dev/fd0 to /mnt/floppy and
you'll be able to just overwrite the existing kernel with the new one, put
in an initrd if necessary, make changes to /mnt/floppy/etc/lilo.conf as
necessary. Problem is, I don't know how to 'LILO-ize' the boot floppy
with the new kernel. There is an option to lilo which will do this (-C I
think) but...I haven't been successful.
no, the redhat boot disk is an msdos floppy with a special image
loader 'syslinux' and some other bits and bobs. i havn't yet been
able to compile a 2.2 kernel
small enough to fit.. :(
If you can figure it out, let us know!
i'll send you an image. :)
