If you can boot from cd, great! If not the documentation is pretty sparse
(nonexistant). I just did this and the only thing that really helped me was
that I had done it before and knew that I needed to make a bootable floppy
with Rawrite. This is not mentioned in the paper docs sold with the Power
Pack version. Nor did I find any other alternative besides 'boot from the cd'.
