Boot Disk Creation

If you chose to to create a boot disk, you should now insert a blank diskette into your floppy drive (see Figure 4-20).

After a short delay, your boot disk will be created. After removing it from your floppy drive, label it clearly. Note that if you would like to create a boot disk after the installation, you'll be able to do so. For more information, please see the mkbootdisk man page, by typing man mkbootdisk at the shell prompt.

If you boot your system with the boot disk (instead of LILO), make sure you create a new boot disk if you make any changes to your kernel.
