| |
The README in /usr/src/linux for 1.99.8 suggests this command to make a bootable floppy with a Linux kernel:
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage /dev/fd0
that hasn't worked for me since sometime around 1.3.60. The command from the arch/i386/boot Makefile does work, I recommend putting it in the README instead (or figure out why the plain cp doesn't work)
dd bs=8192 if=/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage of=/dev/fd0
