Hi,
I need to prepare a Mandrake boot diskette. Life stopped here. And like all I have to finish something and this happened. Linux Mandrake 6.13 something like that. I do not remember the number/version even. I would appreciated your help. with best wishes.

I did prepare a boot diskette getting the files from another server and
with the command of
dd if=vmlinuz of=/dev/fdo bs=1440k
at /boot directory of
Linux Mandrake release 6.1 (Helios) Kernel 2.2.13-7mdksmp on an i686.
My machine is 586. dual pentium. and I do not remember the kernel. It is stupid but so...
Anyway my guy says when I want to boot it from floopy
VFS:can not open root device 08:04 Kernel panic:VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:04
Could you please help.(more info: I had scsi hard disk and loaded WinNT and linux version. Then I had bid IDE hard disk and I did install Mandrake to the half of 15GB new HD. the other part attached to NT. Then my booting was from C and mandrake was running. mandrake see all otlers old linux and dos(NT). When I want to run old linuux and NT I had to boot(from BIOS) from SCSI. But old linux can not see mandrake. )
I would be thankful, if there exists any chance to open this guy without spending days and days.. I did already spent one...best wishes
I did try dd if=floppyfw-current.img of=/dev/fd0
and he says Could not find kernel image:/ boot:
