Re: [Pioneer-users] Reinstall the OS



Hello Massimiliano,

You need to use "El Torito Bootable CD" in order to cheat the BIOS that you have a floppy but you are currently booting from a CD.  I did a new installation of the SO with Ubuntu and is working very good.

Best,

Carlos

I'm trying to reinstall the os on a Pioneer3 robot (versalogic's MVSBC8

to mount it from the current os. I connected it as a secondary master,
but for some reason it is not seen as a bootable device from the BIOS.
The floppy connector is not accessible (someone stuck a connector with
glue on the pcmcia slot so I'm not able to disconnect it).
Any suggestion?
