First, I reckon that making a grub disk is: <verbatim src="/usr/share/doc/grub/README.Debian.gz"> cat /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 > /dev/fd0 using in place of /dev/fd0 the device that is for your floppy drive. </verbatim> Thus the above does not just involve catting stage1 to fd0's boot sector. Also, If you do this, I think you won't be able to use the bootdisk for anything else (except for booting.) I haven't explored making a bootdisk with a GRUB menu, though, as I'm fairly at home with the CLI. There's also a grub-disk package that carries bootdisk images for both floppies and CDs. -- ZAK B.
