Is there an option I can make a "boot CD" like the boot floppy option
present in RedHat/Fedora systems towards the end of installation?
You can use the netinst CD as a rescue disk. Just boot with option
'rescue' or 'rescuegui'.

Well I want a substitute for the "boot floppy" that used to boot the
system in the days gone by. Even a 1.44 MB floppy was able to boot a
normal debian system .... I think I did it once on a potato 2.2 system
and it would happily boot off the floppy in to the normal debian and
even X worked well.
Is that not possible with the netinstall? Where's that boot floppy option
now?
you can install grub on a floppy and use that.

2 works (creating a floppy), 3 does not work (creating a CD), at least
NFM. I can create it, but booting gets an error and I have to use the
commandline interface and enter all stanzas by hand. let us know if you
get that to work and how.
