Also some CDROM drive / BIOS combinations seem to have timeout issues with booting from CDRW discs, which can make prototyping a pain :-( > The current problem I'm having with PicoBSD is space, unless the world > suddenly moves from 1.44mb floppy disks to 2.88mb floppies (or for a > greater miracle: 100mb/250mb Zip disks, or LS-120 disks), you're stuck.
