mkisofs to make bios update cd from floppy image
Hi, I have a question that I havn't been able to solve despite a lot of
searching and messing around. I have a Thinkpad 600 with no OS so I want to install Slackware. But every time I put in the slackware disk i get an error: ISOLINUX 2.13 2004-12-14 isolinux: 0142E58B What I think I need to do is a bios update. So I download the bios update and it's one of those executables that makes the boot floppy. So I run that on windows and get the boot floppy. However, there is no floppy drive on the Thinkpad (you'd think IBM would know this). So I went back to linux, and copied the floppy image to a file. Now I need a way to somehow get this floppy image on a cd. So I installed mkisofs and ran: [root@localhost matthew]# mkisofs -pad -b /home/biosUpdate2.img -R -o /home/biosUpdate2.iso /home/biosUpdate2.img Error creating boot catalog, exiting... Not a directory [root@localhost matthew]# where /home/biosUpdate2.img is the floppy image. I've been through all kinds of manpages but cant seem to find an answer to this one. Any help is appreciated. |
Never mind I got it.
