I have booted from floppy but it does not seem to find my cdrom drive -- even though wcd0 is listed on the boot probe. I did not think that this was out of the ordinary. I figured that I was going to have to seek alternatives so I pulled the floppy and rebooted the machine. The PC proceeded to boot into the install program again, from the CD! Still however when I told it that I wanted to install from the CD media source it told me that it could not find the cd. --How can this be when it just booted from it??? Advice? --ja
