RE: Bootable CD
Yes, I have used syslinux to boot the CD, but my initrd.gz it's the
problem. I don't know how to mount the real root in the CD after starting
initrd.
Do you know where is the initrd in the Debian cd? I found the
root.bin in the CD , but I tried to move to a floppy using rawrite and dd
but I still can't mount the floppy.
Thanks,
Joan.

Just a suggestion: there's something called "syslinux" out there that
takes care of your bootdisk without this initrd-mess. Most distributions
(including Debian) use syslinux as their bootloader.
syslinux works with DOS as well, but does not really boot (syslinux is
called from config.sys)
No idea where to get it though; maybe have a look at boot-floppies?
