Creating a bootable floppy part 2

[Keith Alen Vance <nfn11988@naples.net>]

I recently posted a message about problems I was having with making a 
bootable floppy. I followed the how-to step by step and I have fallen 
down twice. I am not sure if I figured my RAM disk word correctly, I am 
using one disk so I said my ram disk word value would be 16384. I then 
stumbled on the last step it says to copy the root filesystem type the 
following:

dd if=rootfs.gz of=dev/fd0 bs=1k seek=KERNEL_BLOCKS 

I substituted KERNEL_BLOCKS for 720 which is the space I used for my 
kernel. When I run this it says that I do not have a file called 
rootfs.gz and that is correct. So I would love it if someone would tell 
me where I dropped the ball here.

Thanks again,
Keith
