CORRECT TEXT
On a Red Hat system, with a single floppy drive and a returned output from the uname command
of 2.4.20-12, what exact command string will create a customized boot disk for this system? Type
the full command string to accomplish this.
Answer: mkbootdisk –device /dev/fd0 2.4.20-12
Explanation:
mkbootdisk creates a boot floppy appropriate for the running system. The boot disk is entirely selfcontained, and includes an initial ramdisk image which loads any necessary SCSI modules for the
system. The created boot disk looks for the root filesystem on the device suggested by /etc/fstab.
The only required argument is the kernel version to put onto the boot floppy.
Syntax: mkbootdisk [options] kernel version.
Bydefault mkbootdisk creates the boot disk on first floppy device. If you want to specify the device
use the –device option. We can print the kernel version using uname -r command.
