-About the Smart Boot Manager image
-----------------------------------
-
-  The file `sbm.bin' that is available in this directory may be useful
-  to you if you are not able to directly boot the first CD because your
-  BIOS may be too old and may not support ISOLINUX.
-
-  Then, instead of booting on the CD directly, you create a Smart Boot
-  Manager floppy image by using the sbm.bin disk image. You can create this
-  floppy with rawrite (under DOS) or with dd (under Linux). Now you can
-  boot on this floppy disk and it will detect your CDROM and let you boot
-  on it bypassing any BIOS limitation.
-
-What is SBM ?
-
-  Smart Boot Manager or briefly SmartBtmgr (SBM), is an OS independent
-  Boot Manager - a program that is loaded by the bios before any
-  operating system and allows you to choose which operating system to
-  boot.
-
-  SBM is included in Debian in two ways, the package bmconf allows us to
-  install and configure an old version of SBM and sbm wich is the latest
-  version of SBM with an installer.
-
-What's the use of SBM on the CD then ?
-
-  SBM includes an IDE driver that allows us to boot the cds even on
-  machines with a BIOS that wouldn't support booting from CD, provided our
-  CDROM is an IDE one, that is, so you can make a SBM floppy and boot from
-  it and then tell it to boot from your CDROM.
-
-  Also, there are some cases where the BIOS would allow booting from the CD
-  but isolinux fails to boot from there, in this case you can either boot
-  using a CD other than the first, as the others don't use isolinux, or you
-  can make a SBM floppy and boot from this floppy and then tell SBM to boot
-  your CDROM.
-
-How do you make a SBM floppy ?
-
-  If you have SBM installed on a box you can run sbminst. Otherwise you can
-  put the sbm.bin floppy image that we provide with our cds onto a floppy
-  just like you would do with a rescue image.
