If you want to experiment, you may have to customize a floppy specific to
your PC; then re-burn a CD with your floppy image. I had to do this with an
HP Elite 8000. I eliminated the eltorito.sys driver and loaded UIDE and it
worked fine after that. (also had to do a similar workaround with a Compaq
Armada 1700/1750 laptop due to the CD-ROM being a slave).
