Make a boot CD for FC4?

[Neil Aggarwal]

Mike:

Here is what I am trying to do:

I have a SuperMicro server with 2 SATA drives.

I want to run RAID for all partitions, so I set up these devices:

/dev/md0	/boot		100MB
/dev/md1	/		60GB
/dev/md2	swap		2GB
/dev/md3	/var		5GB

The install happens just fine, but when the machine reboots
after the install, it does not load the OS.

I want to create a boot CD from rescue mode that will boot
the fedora installed on /dev/md1

Thanks,
	Neil
