Post subject:  Dualboot - Boot with floppy - not MBR

Once, years ago, I lost ALL data on my HDD using lilo from MBR.
Therefore, after that, allways linuxboot with botdiskette.
Now, installing several knoppix/kanotix I could allways choose "make a bootdiskette" or something like that in the installprocess.
I cannot find this possiblity installing knoppmyth, just "boot from MBR or partition".
If I choose "from partition" how will I be able to boot my knoppmyth without a bootdiskette?
How do I make one?

If you install LILO to "the partition", general this means you have another boot manager on the MBR.

Sorry, i didnt mention that I have windows xp installed on hda1 using the MBR, which I dont want to be overwritten.
Thats why I need a bootfloppy.
It is automatically created with knoppix and kanotix if I ask for it in the installprocedure.
I just cant find this possibility(creating a bootfloppy to boot into knoppmyth on hda2) in knoppmyth installprocedure.
