USB-Key as floppy

[Amir Shalem]

Hey,
I'm trying to boot off a USB-Key,
but my bios supports only USB-FDD and USB-ZIP/Flash booting methods.

my usb key is partitioned as an harddisk, with mbr and a partition table.

When booting using grub bootable cdrom,
grub sees the usbkey as (fd1)

is there any way to tell grub (fd1) is a "really" an harddisk
for allowing to access (fd1) partitions.

maybe to map (fd1) -> (hd0) ?

an hack idea I had (not sure if it will really work):
go over all places in stage2 sources who handle floppy (& 0x80 part)
and tell it its really an harddisk.

is it possible or not ?

thanks,
