There's a floppy image "sbm.bin" on the installation CD. sbm stands for "Smart Boot Manager". Boot from a floppy and use dd or rawrite2.exe to write this image to a blank floppy, then boot off that floppy and it'll give you a menu to boot off any other drive even if your BIOS can't. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
