Date: 31 Oct 1995 03:11:18 GMT Organization: InterActive Network - Serving SNJ - SLIP/PPP/SHELL Lines: 6 Message-ID: <47444m$ade@hermes.jersey.net> References: <473kc3$2ib@hermes.jersey.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: zeus.jersey.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] How do you make a bootable floppy that uses a second floppy as the root? The boot floppy I made from my 2.0.5 distribution (Walnut Creek) boots straight into the install routine. The idea is that I should be able to mount the hard disk image after booting from floppy and do any repair, etc. Bil Herd
