Booting from ZIP drive (was: Debian install to subnotebook)

["Bruce Best \(CRO\)" <bestb@lao.on.ca>]

Thought I'd take another look at booting my Debian install from a Zip (or
booting to DOS, then using loadlin); I went to the Iomega site and looked
around. I found the following rather troubling "answer", at
http://www.iomega.com/support/documents/10372.html, 

"At this time, Iomega® does not support the use of the Zip® 100 SCSI drive
as a boot drive for the Windows® 98/95 operating systems. Use of your Zip
100 SCSI drive as a bootable drive for these operating systems will void
your warranty on the drive and Iomega can not guarantee continued technical
support services."

Yikes! Void your warranty simply by trying to boot a disk?
