rawrite.exe. It can be found on the Red Hat Enterprise/CentOS Linux CD (under /
dosutils). Just run it under a command window and follow its prompt.
On a Linux system, you can use the “dd” command to make the boot diskette. Insert a
floppy disk into the floppy drive and type the command (amd64 driver for example):
# dd if=rr2644-rhel5u1.img of=/dev/fd0
Note: If the floppy diskette is inserted into an external USB floppy controller and the
device name in the linux system is sda, then:
# dd if=rr2644-rhel-5u1.img of=/dev/sda
In the following document, we assume the driver diskette is inserted into the on-
board’s floppy controller and the device name is fd0.
If the driver diskette is inserted into the external USB floppy controller, then you
should replace the fd0 with the device name of the USB floppy controller.
