Would someone please direct me to online instructions for
using a Mandrake boot disk on Mandrake 7.0?  Even better
would be instructions here on how to use one.

I just made a boot disk using 

mkbootdisk <kernel>

where <kernel> was taken from the output of uname -a.

I rebooted from the floppy, and typed "rescue" at the lilo
prompt,

and got the response:

Kernel Panic: No init found: Try passing init=option to
kernel.

I am not sure what this means, and don't know how to
proceed.

I suspect that I can research this by reading up on lilo,
but booting from a floppy does seem like a newbie kind of
question, right?

I RTFM and found nothing relevant in the Table of Contents
of either the User or Reference Manual for 7.0.

TIA,

John
