I have cds for Fedora Core 3 that I want to install to
replace RedHat7.3.

Unfortunately, my BIOS has the following options:
  Floppy
  ARMD-FDD
  ARMD-HDD
  IDE-HDD
  ATAPI CDROM
  Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 [bu
  Disabled

My cdrom is a scsi - LSI Logic / Symbios Logic (formerly NCR).
So I don't see a way to boot from my cdrom.

The ".img" file on the Fedora Core 3 is too large to save to floppy:
$ du -h  /mnt/cdrom/images/diskboot.img
6.0M    /mnt/cdrom/images/diskboot.img

Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Darlene
