mkbootdisk − creates a stand-alone boot floppy for the running system
mkbootdisk
[--version] [--noprompt] [--verbose]
[--mkinitrdargs <args>] [--device
<devicefile>]
<kernel>
mkbootdisk creates a boot floppy appropriate for the running system. The boot disk is entirely self-contained, and includes an initial ramdisk image which loads any necessary SCSI modules for the system. The created boot disk looks for the root filesystem on the device suggested by /etc/fstab. The only required argument is the kernel version to put onto the boot floppy.
-−device <devicefile>
The boot image is created on <devicefile>fR. If --device is not specified, /dev/fd0 is used.
-−mkinitrdargs <args> Passes <args>fR to mkinitrd (which is used to create the initial ramdisk image for the boot floppy). Any mkinitrd arguments may be specified.
-−noprompt Normally, mkbootdisk instructs the user to insert a floppy and waits for confirmation before continuing. If -−noprompt is specified, no prompt is displayed.
-−verbose
Instructs mkbootdisk to talk about what it’s doing as it’s doing it. Normally, there is no output from mkbootdisk.
-−version
Displays the version of mkbootdisk and exits.
