As seen on mailinglist:

Question: "I seem to have met an impasse, since the machine refuses to boot from the iso. I'm going to try a different cdrom drive, but I would appreciate any hints. I would especially like to hear if anyone knows how to make a bootdisk for the iso, like one used to use with distributions before booting from cd was a standard feature."

Answer from ISO Guru: "I tested the ISO on an old i486 machine and of course, such BIOS do not support CDROM booting. So, to test the ISO anyway, I make a bootdisk using btmgr ( http://btmgr.sf.net). Here is how I create the bootdisk:

fdformat /dev/fd0 sbminst -d /dev/fd0

That's it!"

PS. Please feel free to place any ideas, help and/or experiences here.
