You really don't even need to boot floppy (search for the the

setting in the boot system) if you are in a hurry.
Do you know an easy way to unset floppy-boot? on a running machine, without halting back to `ok '?
There is no way to do this, and I agree with you that this is an unpleasant situation. On several occasions I have had to set a box to floppy boot (usually when an emergency forces me to run a 25/7 or prev_cp and I am somewhat distant from physical console access but can get to a console server over the net) and if I am using this hack to get the box running in the first place I am in no hurry to run it through another reboot just to turn off the floppy boot option, particularly if I am not sure the system will come up again if I do happen to reboot it...
