Greetings,
I don't have space on a single floppy for all the packages. So, I create a bootable ISO Bering CD but my pc does not support CDROM boot.
Is there a floppy image available to just allow me to boot up from the floppy which then in turn to boot up the Bering ISO from the cdrom ?
I believe the Bering CD-ROMs available use isolinux to boot, rather than the floppy disk emulation mode (which would provide a ready-made floppy boot image).
It's pretty easy to "roll your own", however. All you need is the proper kernel and initial ramdisk image and a boot-loader.
You can grab the proper kernel and initial ramdisk from the Bering CD-ROM. Syslinux is probably the easiest boot-loader to use when working with floppies...you can find it at kernel.org, and the tarball includes both a dos and linux executable.
Once you've syslinux'd your floppy to make it bootable, and copied the kernel and initial ramdisk file, all you need is an appropriate configuration. You should be able to copy the kernel command line from the isolinux configuration file on the CD-ROM.
If you run into problems, fire off a specific question to the list, and you should get quick help.
