CD booting question
I have been creating bootable (el torrito style) CDs since the
capability was added to mkisofs ages ago. However, from time to time I
find a system which doesn't know how to boot CD and must boot from
floppy. With programs like Linux boot disks that's not a problem, one is
included. My question is, has anyone ever written a dumb boot CD from
floppy program which will just find the CD, locate the el torrito boot
pointer, read in the data and jump to it?
In other words, I'd like a general floppy to do what the BIOS would do
if it wasn't limited.
I'm asking here because there are a lot of people who are making and
burning CDs here, and someone may have stumbled on what I'd like.
Happy holidays to all.

It seemed like a good idea at the time
