USB booting :: boot from floppy AND usb



Hi
I have a booting usbstick works really great.\
At home i have an older machine, which hasn't the boot option.
Is it possible to 'make' a boot floppy, which enables the usb ports on my machine, so i can finally boot from usb?
Tried bootusb-0.8 and  boot-0.8 floppies but that doesn't seem to work.
What am i doing wrong?
TIA!
The bootusb floppy should work fine with the standard "Install to pendrive" version of DSL.

It probably WON'T work with the "triple-boot" qemu version of DSL.

Maybe the boot floppy is having trouble recognizing your USB controller.  It is also possble that you have a very old USB 1.0 controller that does not work properly without a BIOS update for your motherboard.  There are some older Dell computers that fit this description.

Good Luck.
Wrote bootfloppy four times, fourth time it worked!.

This is FUN!

Thanx for the reply! :p

I have a Lexar 64MB USB Flash Drive that is detected at bootup and loads the DSL (0.8.4) prompt; however, when I type "DSL" it begins to load 'everything'.  It gets past the init. phase and eventually the screen goes blank and it stalls.  Any Suggestions?
