[Stovall, Adrian M.]

Why not boot from a CD?

Unfortunately, as others will explain you, that is not possible. You
must reduce the size of your files to fit into a 1.44 Mb disk.

The two floppy setup (ie. two physical floppies) will also not work.

Hi,
I have a very elementary question for which unfortunately I cannot find
any answer by my own even after checking both syslinux and lilo docs:
how to tell syslinux to boot from a floppy but to look for the initrd.gz

file
in a second floppy?

The sum of my kernel and initrd.gz sizes is too big to fit in a single 
floppy
and the two floppies mechanism seems to me the only solution. BTW, of
course I do not have two floppy drives so syslinux should be able to
load the initrd only after loading the kernel from the first floppy.

Thanks,
 Roberto De Leo
