6.16. Boot disk

The Linux-Mandrake CDROM has a built-in rescue mode. You can access it by booting from the CDROM, press the F1 key at boot and type rescue at the prompt. But in case your computer cannot boot from the CDROM, you should come back to this step for help in at least two situations:

Figure 6-26. Creation of a boot disk

When you click on this step, you will be asked in which floppy drive you will put the floppy disk (figure 6-26). Unless you have several floppy drives, choose the first one. Then insert the disk. The floppy disk that you will insert must be empty or must only contain data which you do not need. You will not have to format it; DrakX will rewrite the whole disk.
