Creating an emergency boot floppy disk set

Creating an emergency boot floppy disk set

The emergency boot floppy disk set allows you to recover your system in the event of a catastrophic system failure (when the computer does not respond to your attempts to start it). Use these floppy disks to restore a corrupted root filesystem without reinstalling the system.

If you have more than one system, you must make one emergency boot floppy disk set for each machine. Label each set with the machine name and store the floppy disks in a safe and secure place near the computer.


WARNING: If you use the wrong floppy disk set on a machine, it could cause further corruption.

These tasks are associated with creating an emergency boot floppy disk set:
