On the CD, images/boot.img should fit with no trouble.
ls -alh /mnt/cdrom/images/boot.img
-rw-r--r--2 root root 1.4M
To use dd:
dd if=/mnt/cdrom/images/boot.img

I need to make a boot floppy to install RH 7.3 on my machine as I can
not boot from CD. I am finding the boot.img to large to fit on a
standard 1.44 floppy. Is there a way around this? Do I
rawrite and dd do the same thing in this application. The image will fit
on a 1.44MB floppy. All the floppy images are the exact size of a standard
floppy.
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0
or
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k count=1
The second command will write the first 1.44MB out, but since
Michael Statux thanks so much. Sorry about that double post as I used
my unsubscribed e-mail address initially then used the one I knew I
subscribed with long ago. Who would have known that my unsubscribed
e-mail address would have shown up 3 hours later. Oh well, Thanks again.
