Hello,

I have a problem: I can't boot linux; the SuSE boot floppy is somehow damaged and no longer works, I have a SCSI cdrom so it is not bootable, and Yast crashed (I could not even kill -9 it) when trying to make a boot disk for my system (and I was installing lilo onto the boot disk).

So, my question is, where is the floppy image for the suse boot disk that came with the distribution? I can't find any reference to this in the manual nor does it seem to be anywhere on the CDROM - or is it in the /images dir on CD1? It isn't obvious which one it is. I see the rawrite program but no boot disk image.

Second, I was going through the initial install process and had gotten to installing LILO. I'm installing linux onto a jaz disk partition /dev/sdb1 (1GB). There should be no problem with the 1024 cylinder limit, but lilo would not let me choose /dev/sdb1 "/" as a partition to boot because it was beyond the 1024th cylinder. <???> I've installed linux - several distributions - on this disk and never had a problem before. Never had a problem with Suse the first time I installed it either.
