Hi all,
I'm trying to create a rescue disk so that I can book to Suse 9.0. I use the rawwritewin.exe file provided by Suse, in conjunction with the 'rescuefloppy' file. But when I try to boot off the floppy my system doesn't recognize the disk and continually restarts. 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 - -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAHG7z+wA+1cUGHqkRAoNzAJ9F2NqAZR18Sa/ueB2wcHcqcj1sSgCfaPSg jLO8qoweC0vHxgHRy211hvo= =6L+3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
