GRUB doesn't support the creation of floppy images anymore

[splotz90]

The current version of grub-mkrescue only creates a bootable iso image for burning on a CD.

The option "--image-type" is not supported anymore.

The images produced by grub-mkrescue can still be used for a floppy. GRUB ChangeLog says:

2010-01-05  Robert Millan  <rmh.grub@aybabtu.com>

	Remove grub-mkfloppy.  Images produced by grub-mkrescue are valid
	floppy images now.

	* util/i386/pc/grub-mkfloppy.in: Remove.  Update all users.

And it really works ... I've tested it ...

So the command on the GRUB page simply needs to be updated from

grub-mkrescue --image-type=floppy floppy.img

to

grub-mkrescue --output=floppy.img

Thanks Sebastian. Fixed in r9336. I also took the opportunity to bring that page into the 21st century by telling folks they can also burn that same image onto a CD; I've not seen a floppy disk or drive for several years now!
