3. [How to make Boot CD]

3.1 Why we need make Boot CD
	Linux Enterprise Server 2.1 installation program will prompt user to 
create boot disk for installed system, but as to a large binary scsi driver
it can not make a boot disk because of floppy capacity limitation. And ES 2.1
system has problem that it will not nofify user this defect.In this situation, 
we can make a boot CD to achieve the same goal.

3.2 Make boot CD procedures

    First got mkbootdisk.tgz
    1.)cd /boot; 
    2.)mv initrd-2.4.9-e.24smp.img initrd-2.4.9-e.24smp.img-bak; 
    3.)ln -snf initrd-2.4.9-e.24smp initrd-2.4.9-e.24smp.img
    4.)extract the zip file  tar xzvf mkbootdisk.tgz 
    5.)cd mkbootdisk ; 
    6.)./mkbootdisk --iso --device ./boot.iso 2.4.9-e.24smp 
    7.)burn the image file : boot.iso 

Attention: here I use kernel 2.4.9-e.24smp as example.
