I think it may only work with knoppix. However it may be possible to adapt the floppy. If this mirror goes down search for "featherlinux"; this is a knoppix remaster that fits into a 64mb usb stick. cdrom ^ This boot floppy allows you to boot from cdrom even if the motherboard doesn't support it. I have used these 2 boot floppies to get my p90 to boot off usb and cdrom. This is extremely rare knowledge. gentoo forum link
