Hi,

My problem is not uncommun, I have an old machine I'd like to use as a
linux  internet FW. The  Bios is old and does not let me boot from an el
torito bootable CD( 1998 PC) 

The CD's OK on other machines, boots fine 

Is there any way to get 

. isolinux on floppy, 
. when PC read floppy, isolinux tell it to boot from the /dev/hdc
device, 

all bootfiles are in /isolinux  on the CD (SENTRY-FIREWALL CD) 

I have looked around the net but didn't find relevant HOWTOs 

Thanks
