own kernel, bootfloppy :(((
hi
i'm trying to create my own install-floppy for debian linux with a
kernel i compiled for my server (dual pentium, gdt raidyne raid scsi
host, some eisa devices...). i tried to copy the kernel on the existing
boot-floppy image (resc1440.bin) using the loop-device, then writing it
to a disk. when i try to boot with that disk, the kernel is unable to
find the initrd-image (root.bin) and halts my system. on the original
bootdisk there was a textfile saying something about costum kernels:
just copy it on the disk and run some shell-script (which wrote a wrong
boot-sector to the computer where i prepared the kernel - had to rerun
lilo).
please tell me, how to install a costum kernel - just a kernel and not
anything else - on the debian bootdisk.
thanx
