This is what "man mkboot" tells me.
"If GRUB is installed, it does nothing. If LILO is in use, it runs
/sbin/lilo. If SILO is installed, it does nothing. Otherwise, mkboot
will make a new bootdisk."
Well that's not true.
lilo is not installed on this system and yet

I have installed the 2.6.8 kernel and it is working fine, but I cannot
create a new boot disk for it (mkboot) because it complains that it runs
out of space.
Is there a way to create a boot disk in this situation?
Thanks

This is a bit odd. Posting a question, then having to supply the answer :-)
Ii seems to be that mkboot does not deal with the initrd component of the kernel, and
so when you boot a floppy

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;

Hi. I posted this a week and a half ago and didn't see much response, so
I figured I'd try one more time before filing bugs on debianutils.

I just recompiled my kernel under debian woody. I would like to make
boot floppy for it. So.. I typed 'mkboot

Thanks to everyone for the ongoing responses to my newbie dreck.
Why, when I MKBOOT VMLINUZ-2.2.12, would the system come back to me on three
different BRAND NEW disks with a "write protected or other error"?
I really doubt it's the disks. Is there a known problem with that version?
