Is it no longer possible to use a floppy image then load from CD on a system where the CD cannot boot under any circumstances?

That's right, its no longer possible to use a floppy image. IIRC someone did a contrib to boot across network or similar.

Download the SmartBoot floppy image, write it to a floppy (rawwrite) and select Boot from CD from the menu (with your smeserver CD in the drive....).
