Kernel build problem (2.4.1)...

Kernel build problem (2.4.1)...

[Daniel Howe]

Greetings,
I'm having a problem with my running kernel (2.4.1) - attempting to make
a boot floppy. make bzDisk(& make bzImage) give the error below - any
ideas? Seems like bootsec is missing. I'm running Debian on x86...
thanks much,
/daniel
