Good Morning,
New to Linux, but learning.
I'd like to know what files I'd need to make a Ubuntu boot floppy. I've tried all the answers that I got on the regular Ubuntu forums, Toms, netistall, Google, other Linux forums etc.
They do not work, so maybe here I can get the question answered here.
I have 6 Intergraph 8000 servers(toys) that cannot boot from the SCSI cd. They have 8 SCSI drives, Mega Raid, floppy, SCSI CD. There is NO option in the BIOS to change the boot order, talked to the OEM to verify that even a BIOS flash will not correct-change this.
They have NO O.S. were designed to work with N.T.3.5 through 2000.
The hardware is all Ubuntu/Linux compatible and I could use free BSD, and will if I cannot get a workaround for this problem. I'd prefer NOT to install another OS just to get the Ubuntu installed.
I'd just like to know what files I need, and clear instructional steps to make my own boot floppy for these machines.
Anyone have the answer?
Thanks
Trish
