With the size of the 2.6 kernel, creation of a boot disk isn't possible due to capacity limits of floppy disks. You are as bad as Microsoft. I have been harassing them over design flaws and all they say is "by design wont fix". Anyway, you missed the point; I didn't ask for a LINUX boot disk, I asked for a GRUB boot disk. Which does fit on a floppy. For which RH has instructions on how to MANUALLY create. (for those that need a GRUB boot disk, this works, use recovery cd to get shell) # fdformat /dev/fd0 # mke2fs /dev/fd0 # mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy # grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/floppy '(fd0)' # cp /boot/grub/grub.conf /mnt/floppy/boot/grub/grub.conf # umount /mnt/floppy |
