Hello
I have create a bootdisk with isolinux. These cd load an initial ramdisk
(75MB) as rootfs, start the init process and some service (e.g. network,
inetd) and gives me a valid loginshell for working (recover the system
from a backup).
Now i found, that some of my machines cannot boot from cdrom (the
controller doesn't support this).
Q: Is it possible to create a floppy bootdisk, that starts the kernel
from floppy and load the initrd from the cd?
If yes, what i have to do for this?
best regards
Markus Heinze
