My 505 has just a 'normal' floppy. The very first time I used fips to slash the disk in half, and then a PAO boot disk with everything else from the net. Since then I simply copy the 'kernel' from an install floppy over the network onto '/', mount the rest over nfs, and do it that way. As my floppy is not quite there anymore. If I recall correctly, there was something about the USB floppy on the USB pages, as it was OEM'ed from a manufacuter which donated a drive. Dw.
