flopyless P380G4 problem

Hello everyone,
I am 12 years in a business, and that's why I can not solve this problem myself. How to have my USB stick acting just like legacy flopy after boot ? I am not able to install Windows on G4 becaulse I can not give the SCSI driver - it would be read from floppy A: during setup (after pressing F6). I couln not find any option in RBSU causing USB to replace ordinary floppy drive - my server is flopyless, and I have not got G3 near by to take flopyy drive from that. If I plug USB and than boot, it is mapped as drive C: (I can even see this in Windows setup suggesting partition for installation !), but not as drive A:. I have BIOS P51 dated 07/22/2004 (and I can not upgrade without flopyy :)

Hi,

Some Proliant servers (now maybe all) have iLO (integrated Lights-Out) module. There you can assign to server a virtual floppy or CD-ROM. And this document may be useful also
