I need to enter IP address and hostname manually at the boot prompt because this is customer specific. I can't use DHCP or similar things for getting automatic addresses and so on. Later my pre install script reads the hostname out of boot parameters and creates a serial number from it.
Booting from floppies needs alot of custimzations and module swapping. Its easier to create a boot cdrom with a modified command line (or info file) or even use the original CDs for that.
No chance the systems only have a floppy drive, a network interface, a graphics adapter and a harddisk.
Then I would use the grub floppy.. Anas
