    boot from floppy fails ??

    hi,

    i'm trying to run Knoppix on an old PC without boot from CD support.
    So i made a boot floppy using rawrite2 as described in the FAQ - i had to use boot.img because that's the only .img on the CD (the 2003-05-20-EN.iso) ...

    When booting from the floppy, after 'loading vmlinuz' i get 'boot fails ; replace disk' (or something) ?!

    tia,
    Goner

    --Try using another floppy, this one may be bad... Also make sure the CD is in the drive.
