It depends, whether your ZIP-Drive is botagle under a 486 or not.

1) Make the ZIP-Disk bootable from windows.
2) Copy the loadlin.exe onto the ZIP-Disk
3) Copy the desired rescue.bin, root.bin and drivers.tgz onto it
4) Use the file install.bat and rename it to autoexec.bat
5) correct the path to the files in it.
6) Boot your computer with the ZIP-Disk.

I think, your CD-Rom will not be bootable on a 486...
But you can download the FIRST CD-Image of WOODY AND the rescue.bin,
root.bin and the four drives-X.bin and put the six images onto floppy
disks...
