[SOLVED]Re: Create Special Boot Disks??

["Jay Barbee" <sysjyb@adm105.adm.louisville.edu>]

Thanks to everybody who replied... you all helped!  I got the new 
rescue disk working...

As the "readme.txt" says on the rescue disk I built a kernel with 
ramdisk and initrd along with the IDE,  SCSI, and filesystem stuff I 
needed.  I did a 'make bzImage' and renamed that kernel image 
"Linux".  I copied this kernel to the floppy, overwriting the other 
one.

Next before I mount the floppy and run /mnt/rdev.sh, I needed to not 
only create the device /dev/ram0 (using /dev/MAKEDEV ram0) I had to 
make the ramdisk module.  After these two things were done, I mounted 
the floppy, ran /mnt/rdev.sh, and unmounted the floppy.

It now boots fine... I do not know if this will solve my problem, but 
I can tweak the kernel later, I know how to create a custom kernel on 
my rescuedisk...

It all seems almost simple in hind sight... <grin>!  Thanks again 
all!
