how to boot with floppyconfig
I have a computer with no usb ports, which is unable to boot off of CD, so I boot knoppix 3.4 off by booting off the 2 boot floppies that I made in knoppix.
It turns out that when you make boot floppies in knoppix, the first boot floppy is a DOS format floppy that I could also copy knoppix.sh/configs.tbz to, however the boot requires the ramdisk image off the 2nd floppy which seems to be in tar streaming format, not DOS format.
How can I boot with the floppyconfig cheatcode? the floppy drive already has a tar formatted floppy in the drive so I don't know if I can sneak the knoppix.sh/configs.tbz onto that floppy, and after the 2nd floppy (ramdisk image) is done loading, there is no time to swap floppies in the floppy drive so that it could find knoppix.sh. I even tried hooking up a 2nd floppy drive but apparently the myconf=scan does NOT check for a 2nd floppy drive.
