Hi,

I hope you can help me.

I have installed System Imager onto a RedHat 8 system. I have successfully
imaged another RedHat server and have the image saved. the problem I have is
making a boot disk. When I run mkautoinstalldiskette it formats the floppy
but then gives:

============================================================================

This program assumes that you have a 1.44MB floppy drive and that
it is /dev/fd0.  You can use the -floppy command line option to
change this value.

If you do use -floppy, this command will run non-interactively!!!
Use the -help option to see all options.

Insert your floppy diskette now.  This will overwrite all
information on your diskette.

Couldn't copy /usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/standard/initrd.img to
/tmp/.autoinstalldiskette.19036!

I have checked that the
/usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/standard/initrd.img is readable. I have
checked using the mount command that the floppy disk is mounted when the
script is running. I just can't figure out why the script won't copy the
file to the mounted floppy. In desperation I have rebuilt the server from cd
again and re-downloaded SystemImager from the web but I get exactly the same
result.

Any help or suggestions would be gratefully received.
