I am currently a little bit experimentating with installing debian

I made some private modifications to dbootstrap, adding a 'manual' option
to the 'select partition' menus for Initialize a Linux Partition and
Mount a Previously-Initialized Partition. These allow the user to
type in the path to the block device to be initialised/mounted when the
device is not known by dbootstrap, as in the case of LVM logical volumes
and MD devices.
I was going to abandon them (because I didn't think they would be
accepted into the Woody boot-floppies), but will share them if anyone
is interested.
But for beeing able to install a system into lvm, I need a kernel with
LVM-support. So I need some documentation how I can build a bootdisk
with a customized kernel. I now got the kernel in /usr/src/linux and
making a kernel-image with make-kpkg works. Where can I now find the
steps which are needed to create a set of boot-floppies for this kernel?
Did you get my earlier email?
Regards,
Mark.
