Hi...
uname -a to get the kernel version then
mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 
Assuming you use fd0 ..
If you have a .config file in /usr/src/linux you can make bzdisk too

[expert] drakboot - making boot floppy

2000-10-22 Thread Roland Hightower

Has anyone had any problems making a boot floopy or formatting a floppy
with ext2 file system with drakboot?  After trying, when I go to mount the
floppy I get an error saying 'wrong fs type, bad super block, or too many
mounted file systems'.  If I format the floppy with a dos fs, the floppy is
readable and writeable.  But after creating a boot floppy, the floppy isn't
readable.  How do I go about creating a boot floppy from a command line?
I thought I would try it that way and see whaat happens.
