Re: Booting to floppy
No, no, yes, and ... no. I have one with a 2.2.17 kernel on it
which isn't good for installations of 2.2r2 because they use the
2.2.18 kernel, so you get these problems with modules.... but it
_is_ good for a rescue floppy! Just kidding, I don't want to start
the rescue floppy thing again; you still have to shove in the root
floppy and go one or two steps into the install before you can
switch to virtual console #2 and get a shell, but it's _like_ a
rescue floppy.
And that would be located at

The link below points to the one that *doesn't* work due to the
keyboard/adb problem.
