Have a look at the Bootdisk Howto for instance here http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/index.html If you want to create a boot/root disk, then it can get quite complicated. But if you only want a disk that boots and uses your root partition on the hard disk, then things are a bit easier. Just copy your current kernel with dd onto your floppy, and then set the root partition with rdev. (Tell me if you need more info) Jo P.S. Just thinking about it. Easier still might be to just grab one of the rescue disks provided with the CD's or from an ftp server.
