4.1 x86_64 doesn't contain a mkbootdisk rpm Then, How do I make a bootdisk easily ? (I know how to use grub to make the bootdisk.) But any other easier method ?
Thx !
There is a mkbootdisk rpm .. it the kernel just won't fix on a floppy ...

OK, this time I will type more slowly and proof read it before I press send :)
mkbootdisk exists (see the above link), but the kernel is too large to fit on a floppy, so the image created will not fit on a floppy.
You must be root to use mkbootdisk (or use /sbin/mkbootdisk)
You will have to use the --iso option and create either a CD, usb key, or other > 2mb device image
Many PCs BIOS settings don't allow booting from a usb key.
