Boot disk swiped, how to make one?
Folks:
I installed Slink on my system but had not installed LILO
to make it bootable directly from the HD. Someone swiped the
boot disk.
Question: Is it possible, given the contents of the /etc/fstab
file and a knowledge of where the kernel is located
(/boot/vmlinuz-2.036) to run LILO from a boot disk -- say
"Tom's Unix on a floppy" and make the floppy boot the kernel
on the hard disk?
If it is possible, would some kind soul please tell me how to
do this feat.
(Mea Culpa: I well understand the importance of duplicating
the boot disk. I didn't do it this time and I have a Windows
98 only machine as retribution.)
My machine has:
126 Meg RAM
100 MHz motherboard
K6 2-350
512 K cache
9.? Gig ide HD
1.4 floppy
Yamaha sound card
SiS 6326 8M AGP video
KDE 17" monitor
3Com509 net card
Many thanks to all who support us in the trenches.

Debian GNU/Linux Becuase software crashes should not be the norm.
Reboots are for hardware and kernel updates.
