Dual-drive KLinux?

To all you KLinux gurus-
I understand KLinux can load a config file from a second disk when it boots- is it possible to have a second floppy drive connected to the computer so that it can load the config without switching disks?
With these lovely power problems in CA, I shut down and sold most of my crackrack gear, but I still have 1 or 2 systems left and an excess of floppy drives. If the power gets killed, it'd be great to just be able to power the systems back on and have them boot and self-configure themselves...
Thanks
 
Yeah, the new KLinux ver can read an .INI file from a second disk so that you don't have to run the config program every time you boot. It'd just be cool to take it one step further and totally automate it.
 
small hardrives are expensiver than floppies, and use mroe electricity. But damn, that feature is Cool.
EDIT: Expensiver, more expensive, either way it gets the point across...😉
 
I used 250 meg disks in my original crackracks (running Win95, ugh) they were noisy as all hell. 🙂

hmmm...I wonder if I could use a 2.88 meg floppy and somehow put the config info in the extra space
