theYinYeti Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 While trying to install Debian on my Toshiba 300 CDS, I finally found this: http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/ This site is completely broken and most links are broken too: you had better browse and use this site in "file manager" mode :lol: However, the tool itself is wonderfull! I downloaded this URL: http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/3.7/sbminst-static Then, with a new floppy in the drive, a simple sbminst -t fr -d /dev/fd0 (fr because I'm French) and now I can boot from CD even though my Toshiba BIOS can't! With a free tool like this, I wonder why distributions still bother with custom boot disks that take longer to launch... Yves. [Edit:]This URL seems to work much better: http://btmgr.webframe.org/ Hopefully it is the same.[/edit] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
