Now it runs Linux and OpenBSD without a hitch. ;) Then again, I didn't have a UltraBase docking station, which seems to contain an ATAPI DVD/CD station. You might be able to bootstrap with that. --------------enig176492396083889D9CDAA037 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) iD8DBQFDbkWEsF6jCi4glqMRA5TiAJwOQKtumtLA9aIRU4ZNllkUWUENiACgqkNi gHkM6d6lMa2Xd0PjMTW9icQ= =FjYx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig176492396083889D9CDAA037--
