Boot Disk Problem
This would only happen to me!
I use GRUB as my boot-loader. I have Knoppix, JAMD Linux and Win 2k installed. When I installed Knoppix I chose only to make a boot disk.
The boot disk worked fine but now the floppy is bad. So no Mepis boot disk.
Knoppix is located on drive partition /dev/hda7
Can Knoppix be added to my grub boot loader. How would it be done?
Below is my GRUB file. It looks like this._

Well nobody replied. Thats OK. I dug around and found the fix.
This is finally what worked.I underscored the fix lines.
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,5)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title JAMD Linux (2.4.20-9)
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-9 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-9.img
title Windows 2K and 98
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

title Knoppix Linux (2.4.xx)
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.xx ro root=/dev/hda7
initrd /boot/initrd.xx-2.4.xx

Anyway that seems to work.
As it boots, I notice that auto-mount wants to mount a non existent file in the var directory called auto. This may have been happing before but I did not notice. It does not seem to be causing any problems yet.
Other then the above auto-mount issuet all is working as before.
Hope this helps someone else if they run into a boot disk thta goes south.
