Exactly the problem!  How the heck do you get it to boot if you cannot get
past the bios?  What I had to do was to disable any bios checking of that
drive and boot up a different primary, a compactflash in my particular
case.  That booted a ramdisk on there which in turn could mount any drive I
cared to install into the slidey tray thingy.  Perhaps a simular thing is
possible with OS/2, possibly, although doubtful, Windows.  Doesn't really
matter though as Linux on older hardware is vastly superior to all others. 
No doubt about it.

Oh.  Just install it.  I wouldn't bother with upgrading as installing is
faster and more efficient. Just save whatever files you need from /etc and
copy them over later.

I like it, although it does require a few more bytes then ext2.  Crash
recovery is better in ext3.
