This machine has it's cdrom attached through a pccard. My problem is, that the floppy drive has a physical defect which causes in disk salad everytime I access a floppy with it, so I must boot from cdrom. Can I plug off the cdrom after boot and attach an ethernet card? Or do I have to create an own bootable cd, and what did I have to build into the kernel?
