The easiest way I've found is with mkcdrec http://mkcdrec.ota.be/ Just choose the first option, make bootable cd, and it will build a bootable cd with all your current kernels and modules. If your kernel has reiserfs support built in , it's automatic. If not, you will need to insmod reiserfs before mounting. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation

If all you want is a rescue boot floppy, you can create that in YaST2. Start YaST2 and go to System / Create a boot, rescue, or module floppy. Check that "reiserfs" is in the list of modules in the INITRD_MODULES variable in /etc/sysconfig/kernel (8.0) or /etc/rc.config (<8.0). I know this is used by the mk_initrd script, but not sure if it is used by YaST2 when creating a rescue floppy. Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Right behind you, I see the millions Got spam?
