I'm want to do the same thing with a kernel that won't fit on a floppy, so this may be my only option. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Marcus >You would rather use -b with --no-emul-boot. The --no-emul-boot >flags the boot image as a raw executable rather than a floppy image. >The /boot/cdboot loader is specifically designed for this use. Alright, I got a boot. It complained about the absence of a loader, but that's expected from a blank CD. I'll post if I have any more trouble. Thanks a lot, Tim. -- Signed, Dan Harrison
