ftp upgrade



Hi,
I'm trying to do an ftp upgrade from Redhat 5.2 to Redhat 6.1.  The
first step is to download the bootnet.img and put it on a floppy and
boot.  My problem is that the floppy is not bootable.
Here is what I did:
From an NT box I downloaded rawrite.exe and bootnet.img.  I used rawrite
to put the bootnet.img on a floppy.
I stuck the floppy in the drive and rebooted.
The error message is "boot failed"
So I tried this:
mke2fs -m 0 /dev/fd0
mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
dd if=/tmp/bootnet.img of=/mnt/floppy/bootnet.img
I stuck the floppy in the drive and rebooted.
The error message is 'you idiot'.
Help,
D
