Hey -
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I can make the machine "look" at the drive
for boot instructiions, but I need a way to get the rest on the drive,
and take it from there. Right now I'm jus ttaking a kernel and using
some goodies I found on a few pages to put the kernel on the drive. I'm
just taking shots in the dark here.
Thanks
