Phil, how come I can boot fine with 1 floppy disk into my FC2 system? I ran mkbootdisk after a fresh install of FC2 and that was all I needed to do, just like with red hat's of the past. I'm booting into FC2 with the floppy in the same way I would if grub/lilo were on the mbr so I don't think I have a streamlined/rescue type kernel on that floppy. All the modules that need to be loaded at boot time are being loaded. I'm confused as to why people are saying this is not possible, what am I missing in this discussion?

Ps. it's a 2mb floppy



This explains why you are able to make the boot disk.

I just tried what Jeff suggested and it created an image that was just a bit larger than a 1.44 floppy. I got the below. This is on an athlon laptop.
