Greetings, I get limited floppy support and a modified but useful install process from a rescue disk in the DoC.
The filesystem includes modules for floppy, cdrom, and iso9660 filesystem + fdisk and the mk*fs utilities. I do installs by tarring up a complete installed system and burning the tar onto a cdrom (or a spare HD). >From there, its just a matter of using monte, fdisk, mount, and tar in the usual ways.
