[ Source: mkrboot  ]

Make a kernel + root image bootable from one disk or from DOS

mkrboot generates boot disks that contain both a kernel and a root image. This enables Debian bootup for installation purposes from one floppy.

mkrboot can also use loadlin to make a floppyless installation possible.

Boot methods supported:

 - Loadlin from running DOS/Windows without a floppy
 - Loadlin from a FreeDOS bootup disk
 - Lilo from one floppy
 - Kernel Boot loader from one floppy
 - Syslinux from one floppy
