Hi all,

Is it possible to run a floppy boot loader that points to the Kernal and
rest of the installation on a HDD on another machine on my internal network
???

The situation I am in is I have a winblows 98 box with a 21gb HDD and I have
had all my spare HDD's fail, I wish to install the servers os on a partition
in the winblows box and use a floppy boot loader to point to the winblows
hdd.

or would I be better finding a spare hdd and then burning the os to a cd and
run from cdrom ???

If I use the last option does the MB need to be able to boot from cdrom or
could I use a floppy to mount the cdrom and then load from it ??

Regards,

Kathy Quinlan
