I made a boot disk during the Knoppix install process, because my system will not boot without a boot disk because of my hardware configuration.

I have backed up my bootdisk using "dd", but when I tried to make another one using any debian utitiles that I could find, the bootdisks were unsucessful at booting my system.

I tried some sorta "mkbootdisk" command that I can't remember anymore, but it didn't boot my system. It came up with lilo and then stopped. My knoppix bootdisk uses SYSLINUX, and I'm sure there's some sorta utilty that can make boot disks right?

I searched my packages and tried mindi. This utitity can't create a bootdisk, instead it creates a set of six disks, which is not what a bootdisk is

If it matters, I'm booting off my primary slave drive, that's the way it is. Rather disappointingly, I can't change that, I hooked up the linux drive as primary master and when I booted with my boot floppy it wouldn't boot. I don't think regular boot worked either. Note that I have 4-5 partitions on this drive and the first two are FAT32 data partitions.
