- Hi,
-
- sorry to ask this faq, but i didn't find it in the faq list (date 92/06/12).
- should be added, i think.
-
- so:
-
- how do i put the BOOTimage onto my hd? i did this once, worked fine, but
- can't remember where i read about this. must have been something with dd.
- i tried "dd if=/dev/floppy0 /vmlinux" but this gave me a 1.4 MB file
- (the whole floppy disk instead of ~ 230k bootimage file).
-
- i'm using shoelace, as you might guess. changed the root partition, edited
- the bootdisk with dos norton utility, but can't get this image onto the hd
- to boot without a floppy.
-
- btw, read all fine manuals available to me :-)
-
- any hints appreciated. thanks alot.
