Sorry I didn't get back sooner. Mandrake is one of the few distros that
supports the LS120 in floppy mode (for example Caldera and Peanut
don't. I tested their latest versions)
The difficulty lies in the routine
/sbin/lilo
I will look at the source for it and see what I can do.
I don't see a need for any modification of mkbootdisk per se, only the
support routine for lilo called mknod (or perhaps a gentle massage of
what is passed to it)
# mkbootdisk --device /dev/hdc 2.2.13-7mdk
made a boot disk EXCEPT the boot sector
Now, do pay attention to the manufacturer's suggestions and make CERTAIN
you put your LS120 at /dev/hda or /dev/hdc. Most BIOS proggies will not
boot it from slave positions.
I'll get back to you in about a week. I have an automated phone
attendant to program this weekend.
