That is, I'm not looking for instructions on how to dd the image from the CD-ROM to a floppy; I wonder how the image on the CD-ROM was built. We're using the 2.1.0 release, and we want to get it up on a Compac Prosignia 300 which has a NCR 810 PCI SCSI card. The kernel that is on the boot floppy doesn't know about such a thing, but the sources look like we could build a kernel that does. Then we need to create a boot floppy with our kernel. -crl -- Chad R.
