bootable CD on non cd booting machine?
List folks
and Richard --
The subject line almost says it all:
How can I make a bootable CD boot on hardware that does not support
booting from a CD?
In particular, have the rescue CD from the Atlanta Linux Showcase,
but the machine I really want to use it on does not boot from CD.
I could put syslinux on floppy and point things to the CD or I could
dd the kernel from my system to a floppy and point things into the
cd. The structure of that disk is a little strange to me. Do you
have a suggestion on how to set things up for that disk?
If there is a more appropriate forum, a pointer will be appreciated.
Meanwhile, I'll be hacking at this.
