[Techtoolslist] booting 9100 from floppies

[Mark Hooks]

"just hold down SOFTKEY-F2-F4 " Just to remind those trying this, you must 
first upgrade the ROMs on the PCB before that command works. I tried it with 
version 2 ROMs and it wouldn't recognize that series of keystrokes.

Make a set ofthe 6.0 images.  The 6.1's can't be trusted.  I have a set
of 6.1 data, and honestly its minimally different from 6.0.  Somewhere I
have notes that show which binaries/libraries have any differences at all.

Anyway, to boot from floppy, just hold down SOFTKEY-F2-F4 while
booting.   It will skip the HD and attempt to load from floppy.
