Currently I use a 1.44mb boot floppy to boot my system off CD-ROM. Modifying this floppy disk is time consuming due to slow nature of floppy drives. Basically it is a ext2 FS with a kernel, lilo.conf, device nodes, and initrd
image. Is it possible to use a lopp device to create this image instead of a floppy disk. Keep in mind that the lilo.conf states /dev/fd0 as the boot device. Avery time I make a chage to initrd or kernel I issue the following
command: lili -r /mnt/fd0 -c lilo.conf .
Thanks,
Chris
