hi all Can anyone tell me a reliable way to make a boot disk? I've tried the mkboot util, and I have to say it's pretty average - it hasn't successfully booted a disk, only get's to: "LILO boot: Loading linux" and dies ... I'm pretty sure there's a way to make a boot disk with dd, but can't remember how. The machine I'm trying to boot uses a 2.2.14 kernel and mounts the second SCSI drive as the root partition ... cheers Andrew
