Maybe in reply to: Dave Cinege: "LILO and kernel bootsector will not boot off an LS-120 IDE floppy."

I spoke too soon....
I went back to the compact setting and it loads up fast as all hell. It
takes no more the 20 seconds to load the kernel and root into ram. (1.38mb)

I also justed tested 120mb and 1.44mb floppies with no partition and ext2.
Worked fine. Time for me to buy another LS-120.... : >

Maybe later tonight I'll try an actully root FS in a partition. I'd go all
out and throw a copy of OS/2 boot manager on a 120mb partitioned floppy and
try to boot it, but OS/2 does not yet have support. : <

Hmmm maybe I'll just try to dd a copy on.
