First, if you can boot the CD-ROM or DVD, forget the rescue floppy and boot the CD-ROM. Otherwise, use YaST to create the boot floppy.

Or from the command line, use the dd command. First, make sure you have a formatted floppy. The commands (as root): fdformat /dev/fd0h1440 # formats the floppy mount /media/cdrom # mount the cdrom (S/B in your /etc/fstab file cd /media/cdrom/boot # cd to the location of the images dd if=rescuefloppy of=/dev/fd0

And don't forget to also make the module disks. Ken
