Hi,
Sometime ago a member wanted to know how to make a GRUB boot floppy.
This is what I do on MDK9.1 and it works every time - and of course I use
GRUB as my bootloader on floppy and HD.
#su
Put floppy in drive
#umount /mnt/floppy   (just be sure not mounted)
#mke2fs /dev/fd0
#mount -t ext2  /dev/fd0  /mnt/floppy
#mkdir /mnt/floppy/boot
#mkdir /mnt/floppy/boot/grub
#cp /boot/grub/stage1 /mnt/floppy/boot/grub
#cp /boot/grub/stage2 /mnt/floppy/boot/grub
#grub
#grub>root (fd0)
#grub>setup (fd0)
#grub>quit
#cp /boot/grub/menu.lst  /mnt/floppy/boot/grub
Now this floppy will be the same as your HD boot.
#umount /mnt/floppy   (IMPORTEND)
Leave floppy in drive
Restart PC
Voilla - Same as hd
Enjoy
Johan

May this be a good day for learning
