SPB-Linux 2: instructions to create a SPB-Linux bootable floppy disk (e.g. if you happen to have SPB-Linux on a bootable usb storage but the currently used machine does not boot from usb) files required on the bootable floppy disk: in folder /boot: kernel, ramdisk in folder /boot/grub stage1, stage1xx, stage2, menu.gz, install.gz (the grub files 'stage...' come with the file bootdisk.raw) a) running SPB-Linux 2 with midnight commander: - open the user menu with function key and select "format floppy disk 1.44 MB" (use the floppy disk only if the verifying step did NOT show any errors) - then use to quick format the (error free) floppy disk with grub - copy menu.gz and install.gz from /etc to /a/boot/grub (overwrite existing menu.gz) - mount the device which you used to boot SPB-Linux by typing mount boot (+ ) on the commandline - copy kernel and ramdisk from /boot/boot to /a/boot - umount the floppy disk (menu , then ) b) running Linux: - use dd to write bootdisk.raw (from folder /bootdisk on the usb storage device) to a 1.44 MB formatted, completely error free (!) floppy disk - copy menu.gz and install.gz from folder /boot/grub on the usb storage device to the folder /boot/grub on the (mounted) floppy disk - copy kernel and ramdisk from folder /boot on the usb storage device to folder /boot on the floppy disk c) running DOS/Windows: - use rawrite.exe to write bootdisk.raw (from folder /bootdisk on the usb storage device) to a 1.44 MB formatted, completely error free (!) floppy disk - copy menu.gz and install.gz from folder /boot/grub on the usb storage device to the folder /boot/grub on the (mounted) floppy disk - copy kernel and ramdisk from folder /boot on the usb storage device to folder /boot on the floppy disk
