There is some information covering this in the list archives (I've seen a
recent thread about installing on SCSI...)
I also remember reading an article regarding booting from a SCSI disc that
purported success when running something like " /sbin/mkinitrd
/boot/initrd-<version> <version>"... apparently to tell the kernel that the
bootable was a SCSI drive. I'm not the most knowledgeable on the subject,
but I know there are others here who are. I'll see if I can find the article
for you if you don't get an answer to this pretty quick...

Good Folks,
I'm trying to install Fedora Core 2 over RH9.
My machine can read the CD's, but can't boot from them.
Yes, they were copied as iso disk images not as a single file.
Can I boot from a floppy to start the install?
If so, where can I get an image to load onto floppy.
My installation skills seem to have turned newbie.
I'm a long time, 10 years, Red Hat user, but haven't had to re-install in a
long time.
Thanks for any help or URL's you point me to.
Tom

If the iso's are images, then check to see if your BIOS is set to boot from
cd. I just finished a 'fresh install' of FC2 over a previous Linux install,
and it was fine.
