Hi,
I was just wondering if there was any way of booting from a USB device using a floppy?
If a BIOS doesn't support booting from USB, is is possible to boot from a floppy, then pass control to a USB device (eg USB Flash Drive, USB HDD, Sony NH1 Minidisc player, or even an iPod) ?
I know that you can use the bootfrom cheatcode to boot into a floppy, then load a knoppix .ISO image on your hdd, but is there something similar for USB?
If there was a way to boot to my Sony NH1 using a floppy on a old computer without BIOS USB boot, that would be really cool...:wink:
Thanks,
Victor
