Building a boot disk with initrd

[Diesis]

I'm stuck with this...
I have a Debian Woody system with root on raid, and I wish to upgrade it.
First of all, I wish to build a set of boot floppies that could be used 
for booting and restart the complete system without troubles.


I've tried

# mkboot /dev/fd0

but this create a floppy with a vanilla lilo.conf, without reference to 
any initrd.img (I need it ... root is on /dev/md0).
I've tried to customize this floppy, but it doesn't work neither on 
single disk installations... I think the trouble is the kernel that need 
initrd to mount root..


Is there a smart and working way to build a two-three set disk like i 
did with mkbootdisk under other systems ?


Thanks for the suggestions

Do you send these message from the host itself ?
What are the error messages sent back to you ?
It seems to me that you need genericstable and generics-domain-file.

Hy,
I've tried gFTP, but when I tick Use SSH2 SFTP subsys in
personally I run Gnome 2.6 on my NB, and I have installed the 
gnome-network package.
I could use the destination sftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED] in the Nautilus window 
and I could browse the remote host :-)
