-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.
