One more question: when I try to create a new boot disk using
dd if=/boot/vlinuz of=/dev/fd0 bs=8192
and try to boot the system with this new floppy, a message
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:05
I think the problem may be due to something about root filesystem and
should be done with rdev, but I don't know what exactly I should do?
Any help?
Thanks
