Booting Fedora Core 2

cyberwufff · 08-29-2004, 02:32 PM

Hi there!

I've got a problem with booting Fedora 2. I've got on my master drive WinXP and on my slave drive Fedora. My problem is that I've installed Fedora without booting manager because i thought I could make a boot floppy with the Fedora setup. I've searched for one but I haven't found one. Pleaze help me!!!

maybe u need to go to the rescue mode and make a bootdiskette there

togo to rescue mode

boot from a FC2 cd using "linux rescue" at the boot prompt

follow the instructions there

at the end
#chroot /mnt/sysimage

then do
#man mkbootdisk

will get u all info

Well I'm not sure. :/

This is what i wrote:
# mkbootdisk "kernelno."

then i get the message that the floppy drive can not be written. It doesn't says anything else like numbers or something like that it just says it can only be read.

regards.
