.TH MKBOOT 8 "7 Jan 2001" "Debian Linux"
.SH NAME
mkboot \- makes a bootdisk
.SH SYNOPSYS
.B "mkboot [-r rootpartition] [-i] [kernel]"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
.B mkboot
makes a bootdisk.
.P
By default the bootdisk will use the kernel
.I /boot/vmlinuz
and the current root partition. Use the
.B -r
option to specify a different parition, and provide the new kernel
file directly to specify a different kernel.
.P
If invoked with the
.B -i
option, it tries to make a Debian Linux system bootable after a new
kernel was installed by
.BR "/sbin/installkernel" "."
If GRUB is installed, it does nothing. If LILO is in use, it runs
.BR "/sbin/lilo" "."
Otherwise,
.B mkboot
will make a new bootdisk.
