Hi,

It's pretty easy to put an image of a 2.88M floppy onto a bootable ("El
Torito") CDROM - boot time is quicker too, but you can't commit writes on a
running system.  Also some CDROM drive / BIOS combinations seem to have
timeout issues with booting from CDRW discs, which can make prototyping a
pain :-(

Tim.
