Don't bother with a Zip drive. It won't provide nearly enough space
for anything this original poster wants to do.
Really? Wouldn't 100mb be enough space

FYI, Macs don't have BIOS. Boot order (defined in ROM) goes like this:
1) Floppy
2) Anything else
(If you have SCSI devices, it checks them next, one at a time,
starting with the lowest ID and working up. IDE devices come last,
IIRC.)
You can change the boot order by changing some NVRAM va
Thank you,
Until now I haven't achieved anything interesting. Every sugestion is

The reason it is kicking out the disk is that it doesn't have a bootable
system folder on it. Or, the drive can't read the disk. Or, the disk is
bad. I would try building another "bootable" syste

Yes, it is possible to boot from a floppy - I haven't done it in a long
