One more thing. If you have an IDE cd-rw remember to add the hdc=ide-scsi to the append initrd=initrd.img hdc=ide-scsi root=/dev/hda2 line in the boot floppy syslinux.cfg file. Replace hdc with your cd-rw device name. regards --- steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the mkbootdisk tip.

Two options: 1) dd if=kernel_image_filename of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k 2) mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 kernel_image_filename These two options aren't the same, though. The first will put the kernel on a floppy in a raw sort of way. Used to boot kernel from the floppy instead of off the harddisk.
