This boot disk uses the GNU bootloader grub (version 0.93) which is installed to the boot sector of the floppy
to start a computer and offer a menu with a choice of operating systems to start.

To write the bootdisk image file grubboot.img an unmounted floppy disk in your computer,
under Unix/Linux use the command dd if=grubboot.img of=/dev/fd0
under Microsoft Windows (TM) you can use tools like rawrite2.exe to do so:
Extract grubboot.img to a directory, e.g.: C:\temp
extract rawrite2.exe from rawrite2.zip to the same directory
insert a formatted floppy disk to drive A:
then run the command: rawrite2 grubboot.img A:

Or extract makedisk.bat to the same directory and run it.

To customize the boot disk for your system,
edit boot/grub/menu.lst (on the floppy!) which also contains hints about the syntax that must be used.

For more information about grub see
the grub homepage
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub
and the grub manpage (if grub is installed on your system).
