Emax

So one would need to keep the floppy drive in so as to load up the OS into the machine just for the first CF card format; after that you can swap the CF card while the machine is booted in order to format and copy the OS to the next CF card once that one is full? Or can you not take out the CF card when the machine is on?

At that point I realized that formatting the drive in the machine copies the OS to it and makes it bootable (EMXP recognized the OS).  If I would have just changed my SCSI boot device that round and rebooted the EMAX I would have been booting from the CF card.  I have an EMAX II in case you're wondering.
