booting from usb cd
hello everyone
i have a thinkpad x20 laptop, the cd and floppy drive are connected to the laptop through a bay ( ibm bay 2000 ) using a usb or pcmcia cable http://www-3.ibm.com/pc/support/site....html?doctype=. i can use only one drive in the bay ( floppy or cd drive). i was trying to boot from knoppix 3.2 cd (30 march 2003). i used the usb cable (can't boot with the pcmcia cable) and i can boot from knoppix cd, but while booting i get message ' cd not found' and i had options prompts : mount, umount..
so my question is : how to mount the usb cdrom and can i add that to the boot.img in the cfg file.
thank you

Re: booting from usb cd
--If you have 700MB free space on the HD, your best bet is to copy the big Knoppix file from CD to c:\knoppix directory, and use the ' mkfloppy.bat ' file to make a bootdisk, which you then use to boot Knoppix.
--Knoppix does not search for USB or PCMCIA CD drives to boot from.

The bad can be good
For those with regular CD-ROM, a floppy is needed in addition to copy the KNOPPIX to C:\. With this setup, the original KNOPPIX CD can be used directly as the boot device and after KNOPPIX successfully boot, proper driver can be loaded and the CD-ROM become usable again, for other usage, this is not possible for straight booting from CD-ROM
