what is the status of the boot-floppies package on removable media like LS-120
and ZIP disks?
do these devices boot like IDE hard disks or is there some realmode trickery
involved like booting IDE CD-ROMs? is it possible to install at least the
drivers and base system from such a boot device?
i'm considering building a cluster of servers without floppy drives or cdroms
and i mainly want to know if removable IDE media is a feasible way to boot
and/or repair the machine should a problem arise. unfortunately, i don't have
either of these to play around with.
