Eric,
As you stated earlier, PCs no longer ship with floppy drives. Solid

Hi Eric,

Well, in the case of soekris, there isn't any support for booting from
USB (the BIOS doesn't support USB as a boot device). There are
workarounds, but they basically come down to using the CF to load a
boot-load

No specific images, but we provide different kind of initrd_xxx packages
which can be used for floppy, hdd, usb (flash) or cd use. So just choosing
the right initrd package and chan

Eric,
Is the Bering-uClibc team producing images specifically targeted at
usb-hdd flash drives?

Bering-uClibc supports booting from USB flash devices with initrd_usb.

Everyone,
It looks like USB-HDD flash drives are the new floppy. Bios support for
usb-hdd boot has been around for approximately three years now. The
price of flash drives isn't an issue anymore. Thus, I sincerely think
it's time for us to consider moving from 3.5 floppies to usb-hdd flash
drives.
