[el5_latest] mkbootdisk-1.5.3-2.1.0.1.i386

The mkbootdisk program creates a standalone boot floppy disk for
booting the running system.  The created boot disk will look for the
root filesystem on the device mentioned in /etc/fstab and includes an
initial ramdisk image which will load any necessary SCSI modules for
the system.
