hi,

I wanted to make a boot disk, prior to experimenting with the compiling of kernels.

I ran mkboot /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-k7, and the disk was created.

I rebooted and the floppy started to boot up, until it hit a kernel panic. The error 
message was;

        Root fs not mounted
        VPS: Cannot open root device "303" or 03:03
        Please append a correct "root=" boot option 
        Kernel Panic:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on 03:03

Fair enough I thought. I went to the lilo.conf that was on the floppy disk to add 
"root = /dev/hda3" to the file, only to find it was already there!

So I don't know why the mkboot is giving me a floppy boot disk that fails. Can I have 
some guidance here?
