Keith,
I'm not sure what you're driving at. Is it a rescue system floppy you
are looking for, or is it a floppy to boot bootable partitions on your
disk. If it's the latter, both Lilo and Grub work admirably there.
Grub, however, does not support as many systems. I have an XFS
partition now, so I'm back to using Lilo.
The only thing you need to change in lilo.con is boot= /dev/fd0, and
Lilo will crate a boot disk for you.
