I want to create a rescue disk. I went to debian's official webpage and i downloaded the unstable version which consists of the following files: boot.img cd-drivers.img net-drivers.img root.img How can i create a bootable rescue disk? I want to get into my system using the floppy's kernel.
Is a bootable rescue CD OK? mkrescue is part of Lilo and creates either floppies or CD with "mkrescue --iso", which iso your burn with cdrecord.
I modified mkrescue --iso, which is a script, to come up with a menu that actually says which partition is going to boot, rather than "Linux".
Booting that CD gives you the option of using the partition you ran mkrescue from or what is on the MBR ("harddisk").
