Hey has anyone successfully built boot floppies with lilo from
Slackware 10.0?  In the last couple days, I've been attempting to
create a backup boot floppy for two systems and none of the completed
disks will boot; they doen't even bring up lilo.  Keep in mind that on
two different machines that a hard disk based boot with the same lilo
version works fine.  It's just the floppies that don't work.  I have
been using the makebootdisk script that comes with Slackwares tools
and choosing the second option to build a lilo based bootdisk.  I
haven't tried a syslinux disk yet.  I've always been used to doing
lilo but I'll give syslinux a try instead.  I just can't figure out
why the boots don't work.  They always have before.
