i think redhat has an option on install to make a boot disk, which puts the
stuff it needs to know to boot on a floppy, this is a good idea in general
(i feel), but also, if you're dual booting you can use the disk to boot to
linux by setting the boot sequence to disk drive then hard drive in your
bios (default in most bios i think), so when you want to access your linux
partitons you boot with your boot disk in a:\ else it'll will read from the
first 1024 cylinders on you hd and boot whatever its the "default" os.
mind you, if you lose your boot disk, your kinda screwed :)
