Q. I’m trying to crate a bootdisk using mkbootdisk command. However I’m getting error which read as follows:
no space left on floppy /dev/fd0
How do I fix this problem?
A. The mkbootdisk command is used to creates a stand-alone boot disk floppy for the running system.
This error indicates two thing:
(a) Your kernel size is > 1.44MB
(b) You are attempting to write a boot disk image greater than the size of the floppy disk
I recommend using CD or USB pen to boot your system. You can also use first CD/DVD disk to boot Linux system.
