I tried that. Same result by different ways : the 2nd stage detection of 
Plugn'Pray harware seems to pass OK, but the emulated system freezes (no 
more mouse moves) during detection of non-PnP hardware. You have to 
"reboot" (stop the emulator and restart it), and end up with a system 
without CDRom or NNIC. The same thing happens when trying to add them with 
the damn "New Hardware Assistant" of the Cotnrol Panel. ...

I have been able to use an image of the first floppy to boot, but I'm at 
loss about how to switch between images during the process. How do you do 
that ?

I'm already reading my share of lists (plus the @#[!! spams ...). 
Furthermore, I found that perusing the lists archive is a nice way not to 
bother people with tooFAQ's
