Creating a boot disk in RH 9.0

How do I create a boot disk in RH 9.0 other than doing it at the installation?

Put a blank floppy in the drive: then

From the command line as Root user

mkbootdisk 2.4.20-8

or

mkbootdisk <kernel_version>

Hi....I'd just like to expand the above mentioned command for you..

mkbootdisk --device <floppydisk_filename> <your-kernel-version>

example

mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 2.4.20-8

Regards,

amit
