I would finish the install, let the machine come back to the MILO prompt,
boot as normal (after all MILO is already running). Then worry about
copying the files, you can use dd, is your FAT partition was sda1 it would
look something like this:
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/dev/sda1 bs=1440k
or, you could format, mount and then copy the file by hand, for example:
mkfs.msdos /dev/sda1
mount -t msdos /dev/sda1 /dos
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
cp /mnt/floppy* /dos/
umount /dev/fd0
Also, you may want to look into a mailer that wraps the lines for you.....

The installation goes well, but when the installation is finished and I have to copy MILO to the hard drive I have problems. The instructions say that I should go to the second virtual terminal and type "chroot /mnt" and I keep getting an error message something to the effect that the file or command is not found. I tried using "dd" to copy MILO without the previous command, but I run into the same error. Any ideas?
