If you don't mind, Jeff, just so I'm sure what's what. This laptop could not
boot from the CD drive, but could boot from the interchangeable floppy
drive? So sufficient stuff had to be done from the floppy boot to make the
HD bootable with CDROM support?

Or were bootable CD solutions viable, just not as convenient?
