This explains it. I just used rawrite and wrote a image
out on a fd and booted it that way I tried to start it
from the autoboot.bat file but win2k kept on killing it,
so create a floppy and now win2k is dead... REAL dead...
Sure will be nice to see a CD that will boot up on these
things I run into this problem quite often, and of course
end up going this boot fd route almost always.
