what is the status of the boot-floppies package on removable media like LS-120

involved like booting IDE CD-ROMs? is it possible to install at least the
drivers and base system from such a boot device?

The boot-floppies module of eepro100 seem to have the cmd_timed out problem,

infected...
Afaik was a fix in the combo patch alan cox released for 2.2.16.
