Hmmm... I think it was 1995 when I formated and reinstalled the OS on my Apple PowerBook without any media or wires on a dare.
How did I do it: Created a RAM disk. Built a minimal OS and booted from the RAM disk. Formated my drive. Then installed OS from another computer over IR.
If you can get your x86 architecture to improve with a little R&D, hours wasted on BIOS, device, and OS conflicts might just get a little better.:) I haven't used a floppy for years on Mac's, Sun's, or SGI's. Only busted x86 hardware.
