Laptops :: Boot from PCMCIA - CF?

You may be able to get it to boot by booting DSL on a different computer and then copy the pcmcia driver module files over to a 2nd floppy disk.

Then, boot DSL on your target machine via the normal boot floppy with the "expert" cheatcode.

Then insert your driver floppy and type in the module when prompted.

I have never done this, but in theory it should work.

Good Luck.
