How to make a bootable floppy?

Hallo. I just installed mandrake 10.1 downloaded from the internet. I have now dual boot with a windows system, so I installed lilo boot loader. Everything is fine, but I can't understand how to create a bootable floppy disk in order to boot into my mandrake in case I loose the lilo configuration. You know, it happens some time if an updating of windows overwrites the boot sector...

Thank you very much

Not sure how to make a bootable floppy, but I think the install CD has some sort of recovery functionality built in to it if I remember correctly.

How to make a boot disk is described in the documentation:

In case you loose LILO the installation CD can work as rescue CD. Just type rescue after you boot from the CD and you can reinstall LILO from there.
