Perhaps I should have been more specific. The CD's I've made _do_ boot, it's just that neither of the rescue.bin images I listed above are correct for a CD boot - i.e. they boot, but don't give me bf24 as an available option, then even if I press enter for 2.2, they ask for a root floppy. It's just like what you get from booting from a _real_ floppy. Any ideas? Happy holidays all! A -- Please don't CC me.
