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.

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.

I'm not getting the answer on Mondo-devel, so please indulge me here - I
really need some help.
Using Mondo in Debian Etch, I burn any of the formats - DVD/CD/ISO. When
I
reboot with any of these, and indicate "nuke", shortly after the usual
"vmlinuz........." message, I see several screens of errors fly by. It
finally stops and tells me I need to burn the mindi images to floppies
because it can't find the cdrom. Normally, my cdrom is mounted as
/dev/hde /media/cdrom0
I can post my mindi.log if someone thinks they can help. (I'm not sure I
can attach here.) Has anyone else seen this and have some suggestions
about where to start? This relative newbie doesn't find the answer in the
logs, the mondo FAQ, or googling.
Mondo is my main means of server backup, and I'm more than a little
nervous
now that I know I can't easily restore from DVD.
Thanks! - John
Thanks, Mark, but I did get that response (only), and I thought I posted a
reply, but maybe I only sent it privately. Although it didn't make sense to
me, I tried the suggestion above and got the same results. I mentioned in
the original post that I get the same results even if I burn the backup
directly to CD or DVD. Mondo would know about the cdrom if it's using it to
make the backup.
Any other suggestions out there? Thanks - John
