I had this setup last year, while my harddrive was still on order. It worked
fine, booting off the floppy, except that I noticed it took about 5 secs longer
to look at the floppy. 

Worked last weekend too, when I took the computer apart, and changed things
round, but that was a mistake, and another story as well.

Accidents don't happen, they're caused!
