I would like to have only one floppy disk for booting all Linuxes I have got on my computer. I am using Suse 9.2 for developing, but I have to test at full fart distributions. I don't like to change MBR on harddisks and FDD solution is better for me. Later I will make USB flash disk bootable, but booting for floppy is enougth.
Yast should do it for you. Boot into the distro that has the /boot/grub/menu.lst you see at boot up. Start Yast>>System>>Boot Loader. That screen has 2 tabs at the top; choose Boot Loader Installation. You should see Type=GRUB and a section, Boot Loader Location. Choose the radio button for Floppy Disk /dev/fd0. Click Finish with a blank, formatted floppy in /dev/fd0 and you should have what you want. Ed Harrison, Registered Linux User #199533 SuSE 10.0, Kernel 2.6.15 PolarBar Mailer 1.26
