how to make a boot disk??



Hi,

I am now trying to recompile kernel for the first time
in Debian. I do not have a floppy to boot the system
in case the kernel panics. How can I do that in
Debian?

Looking at /etc/lilo.conf, it seems that I have to do,
"dd if=/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0 bs=8192". But it asks for
root disk, please advise.

Note:  I sent this message yesterday, though I
actually had not subscribed the list.  Since I have no
clue whether that went through or not, I am  sending
this again.  My apology, if the list is going to get
the same message twice.
