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
