make-autoinst-disk1

Usage

Overview

make-autoinst-disk creates a bootable floppy disk for the operating system autoinstaller. It formats a floppy disk, copies a kernel image to it, and then invokes update-autoinst-disk(1). Before this command can be run, the make-autoinst-initrd(1) command must be run to create the necessary kernel and initrd information.
