I have run into such systems unfortunately. > When the bootloader is running, it can only see devices BIOS provides to it. Not true. See for example PXE-boot floppies. Google "USB boot cd", and the first hit is how to boot an Ubuntu USB flash drive using a CD boot loader. There are also floppy images to boot from USB. -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
