Announcing the availability of the Generic Linux Boot Floppy project:
This project aims to create a generic framework capable of booting Linux from any medium, including CD/DVDs, USB flash memory sticks, hard drives, and disk images on network servers. It's useful for booting Linux installers on systems not capable of booting from anything other than a floppy drive. The boot floppy acts as a chainloader to recognize the medium that actually contains Linux and boot it from there.
GLBF currently supports booting Linux from CD/DVD and ISO images on VFAT hard drive partitions located on IDE/SATA drives.
