making a boot disk

[D-Man <dsh8290@rit.edu>]

I now have Debian bootable from loadlin (which is how my system is set
up).

Now I want to make a backup boot disk on a floppy.  I tried running
mkboot, but it gave some errors and the disk wasn't bootable
afterwards.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Warning: device 0x1604 exceeds the 1024 cylinder limit
Fatal: geo_cmp_addr: Cylinder number is too big (13647 > 1032)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Debian is installed on the last 2GB of a 10GB drive so I understand
that I can't boot directly off the debian partition.  (Actually, with
my BIOS I can't boot off the second IDE bus anyways)  A floppy isn't
too big, and I want to use the floppy to boot.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
