Floppy Image on CDForum: USB booting Topic: Floppy Image on CD started by: jtowne Posted by jtowne on Jan. 12 2006,16:17
How can i put the floppy-usb boot onto a CD. My laptop boots from cd and USB-Floppy but not USB-zip or USB-HDD. I would rather carry around a small CD than a floppy disk and external floppy drive. Any Sugestions? I didn't really see it any where in the forum. Posted by roberts on Jan. 12 2006,17:06
You will want to replace the file minirt24.gz from the bootfloppy-usb to your pendrive. That minirt24.gz is optimized to boot usb devices whereas the general one must try to handle a much wider array of possible boot devices and in a partcular order.
