Hi, can anyone tell me how and where I can find the Boot.img file that is needed to make a boot-floppy? Or some other way to make it. Thanks

grab a program called rawwinwrite
probably the best floppy disk burning software I've seen for windows XP

Hi, I use one called RAWRITEXP.EXE that you can download here:

Thank you, but you misunderstand the problem! I have rawwrite, I just can' find the file to write to the floppy! Where to find the Boot.img file? Or is it called something else sometimes? Or have I missed something?

Thank you guys! I found the file from the adress above. It seems like 0.8.4 doesn't inlude the boot-disk.
Now it starts but hangs on: probing SCSI...initio.0
Well, I never expected it to be easy...

Assuming that you don't have a SCSI hard drive, try typing:

dsl noscsi

at the boot prompt.
