[gentoo-dev] Loadlin install ?

Hello,

I've been asking this via IRC but nobody could reply to me. I would love
to install gentoo on a machine without floppy or bootable CD-ROM drive.
It's got DOS, so i can currently boot in it and load loadlin, worked
like a charm with Debian 2.2

Now, i would like to do the same with gentoo. I thought i would use
isolinux's images on the CD but it fails any single time.

Anyone tried before and furthermore, succedeed ?

Thanks,
Steph

Please take a look at #311
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311
The last comment seems to be related to such situation.
I don't think you will be able to use loadlin to boot CD image directly, 
however you still can get a kernel and "resque" image/disk and use loadlin on 
this pair.
