I have an old Intergraph td-4 dual P90's. 32mb ram... 100mb scsi hd
and a toshiba scsi cdrom

The bios doesn't support booting from the cdrom.

Is their any way to boot from a floppy or some other way?

You can make a boot floppy from the cd using mkfloppy.bat or rawrite in the knoppix folder.

Ok I tried that and now it hangs on probing scsi ncr538.o
All my drives are scsi so I can't disable

Any ideas?

I used damn small linux which is a stripped down verison of knoppix 2.78
and it doesn't hang on probing scsi and loads up.
Anyone know why that would work.
Anyway where can I get the full knoppix 2.78?

If you are using knoppix 3.3, you might try knoppix 3.2. It might be less buggy.
