MKBOOT(T)                                               MKBOOT(T)



NAME
       mkboot - makes a bootdisk

SYNOPSYS
       mkboot [-r rootpartition] [-i] [kernel]

DESCRIPTION
       mkboot makes a bootdisk.

       By  default the bootdisk will use the kernel /boot/vmlinuz
       and the current root partition.   Use  the  -r  option  to
       specify  a  different parition, and provide the new kernel
       file directly to specify a different kernel.

       If invoked with the -i option, it tries to make  a  Debian
       Linux  system bootable after a new kernel was installed by
       /sbin/installkernel.  If GRUB is installed, it does  noth-
       ing.   If  LILO is in use, it runs /sbin/lilo.  Otherwise,
       mkboot will make a new bootdisk.
