Hi there!

If you haven't USB floppy or cr-rom (as I am), you could install system using flash drive.
That's the way i did it (not shure all steps are nessesary, but it worked for me):
1. embedded new IDE drivers (from robosavvy) to my Win XP SP3 iso using nlite.
2. Formatted micro sd on FAT 32 through Windows on my main PC.
3. Used UCDExec.exe to make USB Flash appear in system as USB CD-Rom (took a long time to make it - a bit slow proccess).
4. Do install as in RoBoard guide, Just choose in BIOS to boot from your new "USB CD-Rom"
TA-DA!

Hope it will help you)
