Making a bootable rescue CD from a rescue floppy disk



Hello,

My system has just been installed on a HD connected on a Promise66 
controller card,a boot floppy has been created at the end, also lilo 
was installed in the mbr. 

The problem is my Motherboard and the IDe controller, it refused to
boot from either the floppy drive or the Hard drive, it only can boot
via the CD rom. I do not know how to fix this, it is always like this
eversince I bought the Ide controller.

So I am thinking that if I can copy the image from my floppy disk to
the cd, then it's possible that I can boot to the system.  But I am
not sure how to copy the content of the Debian boot floppy to a CD and
make that cd bootable.

Any one has any idea on how to do that ?  Or any idea why the IDE
controller refuse to boot from its drive and also ignore the floppy
drive.

Thanks in advanced.
