A boot floppy created as advised.
It booted the PC, a FC5_64 box. During booting following warnings
displayed;
- Error 14 : file not found
Boo 'boot /sgd if no knoppix file available'
- Error 23 Error while parsing number
Booting '2'
At the starting screen, highlighted "Boot From CDRom Drive" and pressed
[Enter]
The LiveCD on the CDRom can't not be booted.
I have no idea how to boot the HD, a SATA II disc.
