John, This reply was posted on the Mondo Devel list. Sorry that you missed seeing it. I hope it helps you. I had a similar problem. I created a Mondo DVD (from Debian Etch stable) and received the same "copy to floppies" message when attempting to boot. I solved the problem by creating a new Mondo ISO image *while a CD was mounted*. With a CD mounted, the modules needed to support the CD drive will be included in the ISO. After the ISO is created, unmount the CD and use a blank CD/DVD to burn the ISO image. There are instructions for using the "cdrecord" command in the Mondo how-to.
http://www.mondorescue.org/docs/mondorescue-howto.html Judging from a search of the Mondo mailing list archive, this seems to be a common error message. I believe there have been other causes for it. I am definitely not a Mondo expert.
