mkboot8
Makes a bootdisk
Usage
mkboot [-r
rootpartition]
[-i]
[-d
device]
[kernel]
Overview
mkboot makes a bootdisk.
By default the bootdisk will use the kernel /vmlinuz and the current root partition. Use the -r option to specify a different partition, and provide the new kernel file directly to specify a different kernel. Use the -d option to specify a different device for the floppy drive.
If invoked with the -i option, it tries to make a Debian GNU/Linux system bootable after a new kernel was installed by /sbin/installkernel. If ELILO is installed, it runs /usr/sbin/elilo. If GRUB is installed, it does nothing. If LILO is in use, it runs /sbin/lilo. If SILO is installed, it does nothing. Otherwise, mkboot will make a new bootdisk.
