Install from floppy redux

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello again everyone:
 
I have a couple of old Intergraph SMP machines with RAID controllers,  the BIOS wont allow boot from CD, but a Win98 startup floppy will alow install from the CD.
 
I realise that the FC2 kernel is too large to fit on a floppy, however, I wanted to ask someone a LOT LOT more knowledgeable than me this:
 
1:    Has anyone figured out a way to run the Boot CD in a similar manner?
 
2:    Is there a way to put some kind of image on a hard drive where it could start the boot process and then the rest of the FC2 goes on from an FTP server?
 
It would be a shame to use these servers in a Win2k environment!!
 
Thanks for any & all suggestions.
 
Regards,
 
John Alam
