Perhaps I should have been more specific. The CD's I've made _do_ boot,
it's just that neither of the rescue.bin images I listed above are
correct for a CD boot - i.e. they boot, but don't give me bf24 as an
available option, then even if I press enter for 2.2, they ask for a
root floppy. It's just like what you get from booting from a _real_
floppy.
Any ideas?
Happy holidays all!
