creation of a single boot floppy: - create the bootfloopy and the first module floppy - delete everything but "linux", "message" and "sysconfig.cfg" from the bootdisk (most likely, you will replace linux, too) - copy /floppy/initrd from the first module floppy to harddisk - rename initrd on harddisk to initrd.gz and decompress it - mount initrd from harddisk (with -o loop) - copy the modules 3c59x.o, aic7xxx.o, cramfs.o and reiserfs.o (or a filesystem module of you choice) from /lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB/... to <initrd-mountpoint>/modules - unmount initrd and compress it - copy initrd.gz to /floppy/initrd. Most likely you will run out of disk space! - Build your own kernel. You also can do "make cloneconfig" and disable things like ppp, video4linux, sound, usb etc (see my other posting "single boot floppy" from 29.05.). Ensure that the modules will still work or copy the modules to initrd (see above) - copy this kernel to /floppy/linux - unmount floppy and do "syslinux /dev/fd0" to make the floppy bootable For Information about control file on NFS read the documentation.

But I can´t find the way to build a single boot floppy for the autoinstall procedure. I need two modules for the hardware(3c59x and aic7xxx) , and put the profile in NFS server. Could somebody tell me, what should I do? Regards Jibin
