After you've made a MILO floppy, you need to make a boot floppy containing the appropriate Linux/Alpha kernel for your machine. The kernel images are on the Red Hat CD in the images/ directory; also there is a README file containing more information about the kernel images.
Available boot images include:
All of these images should work on machines with either VGA or TGA
based graphics boards.
To make a kernel floppy, use either dd or rawrite. For
example, using dd (under Linux or Unix):
Using rawrite (under Microsoft Windows NT or MS-DOS):
rawrite first asks you for the name of a diskette image; enter
the name of the kernel image for your system (e.g., noname.img).
Then it asks for a diskette drive to write the image to; enter
a:.
Label the floppy ``Kernel floppy''.
The ramdisk image is located on the Red Hat CD as
images/ramdisk.img. You can use dd or rawrite to
write the image to a diskette, much as for the MILO floppy and the boot
floppy. Using dd (under Linux or Unix):
Using rawrite (under Microsoft Windows NT or MS-DOS):
rawrite first asks you for the name of a diskette image; enter
ramdisk.img. Then it asks for a diskette drive to write the image
to; enter a:.
Label the floppy ``Ramdisk floppy''.
