Basically what it comes down to is this: I've copied vmlinuz to a floppy and now I want to coppy it to another PC. So far I haven't been able to copy it to the other PC.
I did it with cp.
Use cp (or mcopy) to copy it to the other computer, then use 'lilo' to install it.
Don't forget to edit '/etc/lilo.conf'.
I know how to configure lilo, it's just that I can't copy the image off the floppy. I can't mount the floppy, to be more specifig. My kernel supports every fat type and the minix filesystem but still...
Did you use 'cp /boot/vmlinuz /dev/fd0' or something simulair as root? If you did this, you destroyed your filesystem on the floppy. There is no way to mount it... If you feel lucky (maybe, I never tried this...) you can copy the file with 'cp /dev/fd0 vmlinuz'. In the future, use 'mcopy' to copy a file to a floppy. You can do this as a normal user.
