FYI: Red Hat Linux Hardware Compatibility List at

The below info pertains to booting from floppies to perform an install:

Red Hat Linux 9 uses a different boot diskette layout than previous releases of Red Hat Linux. There is now a single boot
diskette image file (bootdisk.img) that is used to boot all systems requiring a boot diskette.

If you are performing anything other than an installation from an IDE or USB device, you will be asked to insert a driver diskette created
from one of the following image files:

- drvnet.img - For network installations

- drvblock.img - For SCSI installations

- pcmciadd.img - For PCMCIA installations

As with previous releases of Red Hat Linux, these image files can be found in the images/ directory on the first installation CD.
