− | Boot Knoppix on a machine where it works from CDROM. Then execute these commands to create two floppies. Leave out the "$" when entering the commands, the "cat" commands goes over several lines, down to EOF, in between is what the file /mnt/floppy/boot/grub/menu.lst should contain afterwards.

− | The Kernel 2.6 does not fit on the same floppy as GRUB. In that case, copy the initrd26.gz on the boot floppy with grub and the kernel on a separate floppy.

− | You make a KNOPPIX Boot Floppy by one of these procedures.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | !It is not correct to just copy files onto the floppy. <br> <br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | *!!If you have KNOPPIX or a other linux distribution started:<br>
| + | |
− | Insert an empty, formatted floppy disk and the KNOPPIX CD. <br> <br>
| + | |
− | K --> KNOPPIX --> Root Shell --> cd /mnt/cdrom/KNOPPIX --> ls <br> <br>
| + | |
− | Now you should see a file name ''boot.img'' . <br>
| + | |
− | In some versions the file may have a language name attached.<br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Enter the following line from the shell:<br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | : ''dd if=/mnt/cdrom/KNOPPIX/boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k'' <br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | This will erase the floppy and the KNOPPIX boot disk.<br> <br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ; Or for the lazy : ''cat /mnt/cdrom/KNOPPIX/boot.img >/dev/fd0''
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | *!!If you are in Windows:<br>
| + | |
− | Insert an empty, formatted floppy disk and the KNOPPIX CD.<br>
| + | |
− | Open a DOS Window, open the KNOPPIX directory on the CD. <br>
| + | |
− | : d:<br>
| + | |
− | : cd \KNOPPIX <br>
| + | |
− | create a boot floppy using the command: <br>
| + | |
− | : mkfloppy.bat<br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | : '''*''' actual path on Knoppix 3.3 CDROM: ''/cdrom/KNOPPIX/mkfloppy.bat''
| + | |
− | ----
| + | |
− | : Is this also possible in Knoppix 3.4?? <br>
| + | |
− | : At least with 3.4 2004-05-04, no. The file boot.img is not there, neither is the mkfloppy.bat or rawwrite2.exe. This might be due to the use of isolinux. I '''need''' this, badly enough to continue investigating it.

− | Hi, look here [http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/[[Ce] Bit]]/ for a boot.img and make''floppy''3.4.sh. Hope this helps. MTH

− | | + | |
− | Check out the mkbootfloppy script (Knoppix->Utlities menu) thats on 2004-05-10 and newer. It wil create two bootfloppies with the currently running kernel.
