    I did prepare a boot diskette getting the files from another server and

    with the command of

    dd if=vmlinuz of=/dev/fdo bs=1440k

    at /boot directory of

    Linux Mandrake release 6.1 (Helios)
    Kernel 2.2.13-7mdksmp on an i686.

    My machine is 586. dual pentium. and I do not remember the kernel. It
    is stupid but so...

    Anyway my guy says when I want to boot it
    from floopy

    VFS:can not open root device 08:04
    Kernel panic:VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:04

    Could you please help.(more info: I had scsi hard disk and loaded WinNT
    and linux version. Then I had bid IDE hard disk and I did install
    Mandrake to the half of 15GB new HD. the other part attached to NT. Then
    my booting was from C and mandrake was running. mandrake see all otlers
    old linux and dos(NT). When I want to run old linuux and NT I had to
    boot(from BIOS) from SCSI. But old linux can not see mandrake. )

    I would be thankful, if there exists any chance to open this guy without
    spending days and days.. I did already spent one...best wishes

    I did try
    dd if=floppyfw-current.img of=/dev/fd0

    and he says
    Could not find kernel image:/
    boot:
