For the benefit of the OP...


I have an equipment without CD ROM driver and USB boot support. I would like
to know how can I boot from a floppy disk (if it's possible) to start
installation via NFS Server.

In some older version (like Fedora 1) we could download the boot.img and use
dd to convert it to the floppy disk, but now I can't find it anymore.

I have successfully used Smart Boot Manager on an old AMD586 machine, so I know it works, and can recommend it.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
