raid setup

moving old win2k install to new hw. sata raid embedded on mb
install needs "f6" to supply raid inf on floppy.

is there any way to avoid a: drive? is floppy still unevitable part of hw
inventory?

by the way, what is the real nature of raid "f6" setup, assumnig that raid
is embedded into mb, and should be totaly transparent to os [raid is raid_1
and is just mirrored disks]

any comment? thnx
