I was playing around with v3.0 of debian, and somewhere on the
distribution CD there was a floppy disk image that you could boot from,
and it would present you another boot menu where you could choose what
DEVICE to boot from.
With this floppy, you could boot it, insert your bootable CD into your
non bootstrapping CD-ROM, and the disk would start reading and booting
from the cd-rom.
It's really handy. I have commented on it before. I used it for
installing Windows XP from CD on a machine that wouldn't boot from CD. I
just wish I knew what the image name was called and where it could be
found.
Well, there is this:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/btmgr/
That will let you boot floppy->CD.
I don't know if it is what was included with Debian 3.0, though.
