man mkbootdisk
that should tell you all you need to know. i am not in RH right now, so i can't look at it myself. hopefully this will suffice for the moment

also you can use dd, i keep a little notepad of these things, it has been pretty handy.
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=8192k
run that on the CLI once the floppy is mounted and you will have yerself a brandynew bootdisk. also, check the menus and stuff, i thought there was a GUI for makeing one
wheeee
its good to feel loved
dd will only work if you have a image file.
you don't need to mount it because you are writing directly to fd0
mkbootdisk is probally better, it makes a disk from the kernel that the 'puter boots from
this should work:
assuming your kernel is vmlinuz. it should be if you haven't made your ownCode:mkbootdisk --device=/dev/fd0 /boot/vmlinuz
