A bootable CD is fine for those system that have that support (with a
"proper" cd of course). If your CD drive is on a scsi device you can get
by with a single rescue disk. If not then an additional floppy (drivers
disk) is needed to install the module necessary to mount the CD drive.

With a small DOS partition you can put resc1440.bin, drv1440.bin,
root.bin, base1_3.tgz, and the kernel image file, linux, on the C drive
along with loadlin.exe which can be used to install the sytem with NO
floppies.
Luck,
