I was making my bootdisk - lilo doesn't seem to like my setup and did the usual dd if=/boot/vmlinuz etc followed by :-
rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hda2 and rdev -R /dev/fd0 1
except that it should have been /dev/hda3, consequently it crashed on next reboot big-time. Anywaty, I inserted my 7.0 bootdisk, booted my instakked setup and got back to a prompt, I then retyped the rdev commands but forgot to change disks..
The effect of this is to shag my 7.0 bootdisk
I have managed to restore everything else (Ihad a spare 6.4 bootdisk) but I would like to restore my 7.0 bootdisk back to its former self
I have tried to read the man page for rdev but am not sure what the correct rdev parameters should be, can anyone give me a clue ?
You can find the 7.0 boot disks on the CDs/DVD in /cdrom/disks (assuming your CD/DVD is mounted on /cdrom. You should be able to just dd the image over onto the floppy. Bye, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
