Default boot redhat 9

greetings

Im using redhat 9 and windows XP... I had a problem with my dual boot so i boot my Linux OS using a floppy. And now i lost my floppy....
was just wondering how do i create another boot disk.??
Do i have to boot it using the installation CD...If yes how do I do that ...??

Thanks in advance

horndude is on a distinguished road

Default

put install cd in, when the boot prompt comes up type this:
/dev/hdxy

where x is the drive designation and y is the partition

example
/dev/hda1 would boot the first IDE drive, and first partition on that drive

once its up and running you can make another boot disk
