I've tried following the instructions for creating a boot disk in the
manual pages 537-538 but the results is read only and I can't mount
any new disks (i.e., the hard disk partitions) with it.  I want to be
able to come up on floppy and then be able to mount the hard disk
(in case I really screw up a configuration or something).  The last two
times I ruined my configuration I've had to re-install, which is a 
real pain.  I called the tech support and the guy I talked with didn't
know how to do this.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks -
