I have an old server that has no CD-ROM, will not boot from USB, and I cannot access the iLOM console. Thus, it appears that my only means of installing an OS is to boot from floppy, then configure the network adapter and install the rest over the internet.
I found this page with instructions on how to do this, but the links to the floppy images are broken: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WithFloppies
I tried finding floppy images, but the best I could come up with was Debian Etch, which is quite old. Furthermore, those were i386 kernels only, and I want to install a 64-bit kernel.
Bottom line: How can I install a current, Intel 64-bit linux OS with only a 3.5" floppy drive to start with and no CD-ROM whatsoever? (I am looking to install Ubuntu 14.04 Lts)
