Make a boot floppy with boot.img or boot-fd.img from the cd istself, then boot with both floppy and cd in, it should automatically recognize the cd.

QUOTE(madman6510 @ Jul 19 2007, 02:04 PM)  I'm trying to run SLAX Frodo on this really old laptop with a floppy drive and a CD drive, but the BIOS only supports boot from hard disk and floppy. Is there any way i can make a floppy that boots and tells the computer to boot from CD? Yup, that's a way to do it. Pobably the easiest as well. -------------------- |
