Re: 2.4 kernel rescue disk?
Hello!
Hmm, I think the easiest way to create a boot floppy is to take an existing
bootfloppy with the syslinux loader on it (for example a debian rescue),
then compiling a kernel with the necessary drivers and patches (but no
modules!!!; also be sure that you have compiled in some things syslinux
requires - see readme files on the boot floppy), and putting this kernel on
the disk instead of the default kernel. I don't know if this works with the
2.4 ones, but it has worked with 2.2 and 2.0, so I don't think there will be
any problems...
Regards,
Stephan Hachinger
