The Sony 505 series will boot ONLY from one of the Sony CD drives (or DVD 
drives) manufactured to accompany these laptops.  There are only a handful 
which 
work.  The alternative of using a boot floppy and non-Sony CD drive requires 
that one hack the boot floppy to include, in the proper spot, the DOS driver 
for that CD drive.
