I did a hard drive install (which took a lot of Googling because BL3 is pretty undocumented).

I believe these are the steps(?)

-fdisk -C 7944 -H 16 -S 63 /dev/hda1
-n
-w
-mke2fs /dev/hda1
-mount /dev/hda1 /hd
-install-to-hd
-reboot with floppy 1 still in the drive
-hit ctrl when you see LILO
-hd root=/dev/hda1
-lilo -v
-fdisk -C 7944 -H 16 -S 63 /dev/hda1
-a

(the fdisk command being for the 3.8gb hard drive in my Toshiba Satellite Pro 480CDT with a BIOS that forgot how to boot CDs)

Correct me if I may be wrong, but if I do those steps, shouldn't I be able to boot BL3 without a floppy?
