How do I format a floppy to accept the over-sized fedora boot image?
I've tried mkbootdisk --size 1400 --device /dev/fd0 2.4.22-1.2149.nptl
But it's still creating an image thats too large
In the images directory of your fedora distribution should be several files:
bootdisk.img - floppy sized boot image drvnet.img - floppy sized image with extra network drivers drvblock.img - floppy sized image with extra block device drivers boot.iso - CD sized boot image with drivers included
They can be found, for example, at ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/1/i386/os/images
To put the boot image on a floppy: % dd if=bootdisk.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024
