Hello- I performed the following command on my grub boot floopy: dd bs=18k if=/dev/fd0.1440 of=floppy.image the file 'floppy.image' was created. when i try to run: mkisofs -b floppy.image -c floppy.catalog -o grub.iso . i get the error message can't find boot image. I was tried read example on the web but I just can't get it to work. Any suggestions? thanks, brian -----Original Message----- From: Jean-Marc Zucconi [mailto:jmz@dalai-zebu.org] Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 8:56 AM To: Henning, Brian Subject: Re: dd boot floppy to cd image >>>>> Henning, Brian writes: > Hello- > I have a grub boot floopy that has no file system.
