Hello, i have just compiled kernel v.2.4.8. Can someone tell me how can i create a bootdisk for that kernel? (i use windows as my primary OS).

Thanks

I believe that is make bzDisk or make bzdisk (don't remember if it's a capital D in there).

Cheers :)

The easiest way to make a kernel bootdisk is to simply dd the kernel onto a floppy.

For example...

dd if=/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0

That'll destroy anything on the floppy.
