Annorax:
I'm trying to install FC2, but I can't find a boot floppy, and for some dumb reason the installer crashes about 10 seconds into loading.

Where can I find a boot floppy image (and hopefully a Windows image writer)?

WMD:
On the CD.  

hm_murdock:
the writer is called "rawrite" and it should be in the same folder as the images.

why can't you boot from the CD? or is that what fails?

you might have a bad burn or corrupt ISO

Annorax:
The CD's good. Nothing Linux will boot from the first CD drive. The CD-RW, however, would boot it fine if the BIOS supported booting from it.

With a floppy, I'd be able to install from the second drive. However, the diskboot.img file on Fedora's CD 1 is 6mb... it's a USB pen image, not a floppy image.

edit: before you ask, it won't boot Knoppix either.

hm_murdock:
is it that the BIOS won't boot from that drive at all?

could your disconnect the first drive and set the RW to master? or have you tried that already?
