booting 9100 from floppies

"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.
