D.

E.
mkbootdisk /boot/vmlinux-2.4.18-12

Explanation:
mkboot creates a boot floppy appropriate for the running system. The boot disk is entirely
selfcontained, and includes an initial ramdisk image which loads any necessary SCSI modules for
the system. The created boot disk looks for the root filesystem on the device suggested by
/etc/fstab. The only required argument is the kernel version to put onto the boot floppy.
Syntax:
mkbootdisk [options] kernel version.
Bydefault mkboot creates the boot disk on first floppy device. If you want to specify the device use
the –device option. In debian you should specify the kernel filename which resides on /boot.
