Please define what you mean by "bootable disk".   Floppy,
CDROM, hard drive, LS120, Zip?  Do you want a whole system on
teh disk  or just boot up a system on another drive?

# dd if=/boot/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0

Some distributions ship with a script called "mkbootdisk", but don't rely
on canned tools to do a job you should know how to do from scratch.

1. Make a DOS bootable floppy-disk/image bootable from Linux?

Hi there-

A while ago I saw a program that would allow you to put DOS system
file onto a floppy-disk or a disk image from linux (and actually
have it be bootable).  Has anyone out here heard of that program?
I would like to make a 2.88MB DOS bootable image but I lack a 2.88MB
drive :)

Thanks for help.
