Never tried this, would be COMPLETELY BIOS dependant, and I know of no sure-fire way to make it work. But the process would be the same. Install a bootloader on the zip disk, either install a bsd system, or copy the bootonly directories and files to the zip disk... then the zip would act as a bootonly cd... I've been shipped, by Iomega, a 750MB zip drive in wrong exchange by Iomega of a 2TB USB drive. I'm a little torqued. --TJ
