Hi,

I prepared the boot floppy for RHEL ES4 using the following procedure.
But
getting "boot failed" error while booting from it.

[root at redhat ~]# more /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 3)

[root at redhat ~]# cd /media/cdrom
[root at redhat cdrom]# cd images
[root at redhat images]# ls -l
total 11360
-rw-r--r--  10 root root 5337088 Mar  4 01:55 boot.iso
-rw-r--r--  10 root root 6291456 Mar  4 01:55 diskboot.img
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root    2048 Mar  4 02:45 pxeboot
-rw-r--r--  10 root root     668 Mar  4 01:55 README
-r--r--r--   1 root root     881 Mar  4 04:41 TRANS.TBL

[root at redhat images]# dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/fd0
dd: writing to `/dev/fd0': No space left on device
2881+0 records in
2880+0 records out
[root at redhat images]#

Thanks & Regards,
