>CD1 also works as a rescue CD

What I'm trying to do is to move Linux over to my 486. It has an older BIOS
that can't boot from CDROM. Top that off with an older CDROM drive. I was
hoping to be able to use the boot/rescue/module floppies to move Linux over,
but there seem to be problems. The Module 4 floppy does have a driver for the
older CDROM though.

Still, you'd think making the rescue floppy would work. But maybe it is the
drive and there is some sort of problem with reading/writing to the inner
tracks and the rescue image is larger than the others.
