You are going to have to install grub or lilo first, then copy the first 512 of that partition. Do you have a seperate boot partition? If not you would want to install to the root partition. Boot with your floppy and type something like grub-install /dev/hdx (where x is the root partition) Then do the dd if=/dev/hdx(whatever the root partition is) of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1. I hope I have this right, if not someone correct me please...
