Thanks Dan, I was looking for a cheaper way as I have three old ide cdroms collecting dust. Since the mobo does not support cdrom boot, I went back to two floppies. Boy was this a mistake for me.
I started at 8:30 AM today and still do not have it working like the old Eiger 2 disk set-up. Charles - once I added the multi298.lrp and rebooted, the backup script is the one from Eiger and the boot process does not show the lrp packages loading from the /dev/fd0u1680, it shows them on one line as in Eiger. How can we have two floppy disk support with DachStein for us with no cdrom boot support? I extracted the boot floppy from version 1.0.2 and used WinImage to write to a floppy. It would boot part ways and then ask something about an init level process to run. I tried 0-8 and no go on any one, just froze the system, rebooted, tried next number, etc. Then I went to Ken's single PPPoP floppy image. Was able to get it to work, however I need ssh, oidentd and junkbuster on my router. The single floppy does not have enough space, so I tried the multi298.lrp and it worked, two floppy boot system! Tried Putty, can not ssh into the box. Dang! I booted with the old Eiger 2 floppy set-up and bam!!! everything works like it should. (ssh, oidentd, dhcp, pppop) Any help from the list on how to get DachStein with two floppy set-up running? Anything I did wrong?

There's plenty of 4X Apple SCSI CD/ROM decks lying around, which work perfectly. Cheers!
