Title: boot-disk
Post by: Anders Tillebeck on February 16, 2002, 09:54:22 PM

Hi! I have to boot my future server with a floppy disk. I have searched this page but cannot find the answer - I do asume it has been asked before.

I have burned the 5.1.2 to a CD and is it bootable, but my old computer can only boot the A: and C: drive. How do I extract and copy the right files to a floppy. Preferable on a win2000 machine but I can get my hands on a Red Hat 7.2 to do it from there if necessary.

Thanks....

Look on your cd in the dosutils folder, there are instructions on how to make a boot floppy.

Hi Andres,

Assuming your CD ROM is drive E: and the SME CD is in there,

E:\>CD \IMAGES
E:\IMAGES>E:\DOSUTILS\RAWRITE -F BOOT.IMG -D A:

That should do the trick.
