( same information in other words:
only two floppies,
one boot floppy with the kernel and one root floppy with a init ram disk. )
Building a kernel with the proper CD-ROM driver
and putting it on the boot floppy is not a huge project.
I'm not sure about your changes on tweaking at boot floppy
that will use the CD-ROM for getting the init r.d.
Anybody willing the provide this list with hits for that?
