In message <199611191746.SAA00462@freebie.lemis.de>you write: >... the impression that I got from the c't >article was that it was pretty straightforward. It looks reasonably straightforward. To boot from an emulated floppy, there's a little bit of glue, and then an image as a iso9660 file. We only need to use up cd space for the glue, since the file can just be boot.flp. There's also a "Boot in this manner from the CD" int13 function, so there could be a "bootcd.exe" in case the user's BIOS is a little weird. I stuck the postscript file in http://www.freebsd.org/~fenner/cdrom7.ps for anyone who doesn't have a PDF viewer. Bill
