I've got Fedora Core 2 installed on a relatively old machine that has always had SCSI boot issues. Previous OSes (Red Hat 7.2 and 6.1) were booted from a floppy and worked fine. Fedora didn't give me a chance to create a boot floppy at install time, so I booted from the CD in rescue mode and was able to run mkbootdisk. However, there's not enough room on the floppy! It looks like vmlinuz and initrd.img have grown quite a bit. Both boot.msg and syslinux.cfg are 0 in size on the resulting floppy. I've tried mkbootdisk with --device /dev/fd0u1760 for example, but that doesn't work. If I pre-fdformat a disk, mkbootdisk just reformats and drops on the 1440 image. Is there any way around this? How can I get a boot image that actually fits on a floppy? It's going to get worse too because the smp kernel is even larger. Thanks for any suggestions, -ed
