You have a CD-ROM? With a CD-ROM you can boot BL from your
HD first, then running BL in his RAM-drive use cfdisk to
repartion you HD and install the necesary packages from the
CD. You need to install lilo too and put a copy of the BL
kernel in the /boot directory, in order you can boot BL. Or
maybe you can get a floppy drive from other PC for a while
and use it.
...and I got some other crazy ideas to install BL without a
floppy drive :)
