Ray explained in great detail, however to expand on what he said about
booting other computers, the created bootdisk will only boot another machine
to start with if it has the same root partition, for example /dev/hda3 would
be the root partition, if another machine has /dev/hda2 as it root partition
then it would boot the other machine as is, you would need to use 'rdev' to
change the boot params of the disk.
'man rdev' and 'rdev -h' will help you more.
Then as Ray said the machines would need to be somewhat the same.
