Not quite true, 'boot-floppies' has full 'vmelilo' support for the
BVME4000/6000, MVME162, MVME166 and MVME167. These boards do not have an
existing operating, just comparatively simple boot strap loader ROMs, that
support booting from SCSI hard disks, SCSI floppy disk (TEAC FC-1) and TFTP.
Additionally BVME boards can boot from 'El-Torito' bootable CD-ROMs in a
SCSI CD-ROM drive. I added partial SCSI floppy support to 'boot-floppies' a
while back, i.e. partial as in can do everything except make a bootable
floppy at install time.
