BJ: What I discovered is that the option of booting
from a floppy doesn't show up unless the USB floppy
is connected. My boot order is CD/DVD, USB floppy,
HD.
 
(OTOH, did they ever make a 5.25" USB floppy drive?  
BJ: Yep. Still use it with a RedHat 5.0 floppy system for quick edits
That should work, but I think finding that is going to be harder than finding a needle in a haystack...)
BJ: You can borrow mine. My phone is 248-9306 and you are not
too far away.
