SubjectFloppy drive no longer works, how do I boot?
Hi All,

I know that this is not exactly the most appropriate place for this message;
however, it seems to have the most readers who are knowledgeable enough to
help me.

I have had linux (2.0.0) configured to boot from my floppy drive. Recently,
my floppy drive went belly-up. I need to find a way to boot linux so that I
can set lilo to boot from the C: drive.

I have a homemade computer with the following configuration:

SuperMicro P55T2S -- Triton II motherboard w/ 133MHz Pentium and 40MB RAM
3 EIDE harddrives -- 2 1.0GB ATA-4 drives on the primary controller and
1 1.2GB ATA-3 drive on the secondary controller
(These are used for Windoze '95 -- I wish I could erase it)
1 Number 9 Motion 771 PCI graphics card
Adaptec 2940W PCI -- 1 1.2GB fast-wide SCSI 2 harddrive (Linux root partition)
1 3.0GB SCSI-2 harddrive -- nothing on it yet since I
can't boot linux
1 Plextor 6x CDROM
1 Colorado 3200 Tape backup

The two SCSI harddrives are assigned 83H and 84H respectively.

Right now the only operating system I can boot is Windoze '95. Is there any way
that I can boot my linux OS from within Windoze '95? If so, how?
I need this just long enough to reconfigure Lilo.

Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Andy Koepke
