floppyconfig easy on Knoppix 3.3, not so on Knoppix 3.4
My BIOS does not allow me to set "boot from CDROM".
But I did not need a boot floppy With KNOPPIX 3.3 because it somehow booted from my CDROM.
After what appears like some kind of a timeout, KNOPPIX 3.3 would boot from
the CDROM. So I had to wait for the timeout but I was happy.
Now with Knoppix 3.4 there is no timeout. It just does not boot from the CDROM at all.
The only way to force a CDROM boot was to use the boot.img from 3.3 CD to
create a boot floppy. (Why does 3.4 not contain this boot.img ??)
Now the system boots from the floppy which then invokes the CDROM and KNOPPIX 3.4 starts to bootup.
Ok, I can live with that.
With 3.3 it was possible to do "knoppix floppyconfig"
With 3.4 it is not so simple to do "knoppix floppyconfig" because:
1. The boot floppy is full with all it boot files.
2. So I have to have a second floppy with the floppyconfig data.
3. But then I have to swap the boot floppy with the 2nd floppy when I see the 3.4 "boot:" prompt.
4. This is not easy because the boot prompt itself does not have a long timeout. So if I am late then I have to reboot.
Any suggestions on how I can still do a floppyconfig or something similar without these gymnastics?
I do not have USB ports or hard disks on this computer.
