No, I didn't boot from floppies. I ftp'd straight from 3.0 (which is why I thought the boot blocks would be there).

Everything came up fine and the /silo overflow problems with my internal modem have not reoccured. I guess I can say that I'm less green that I was yesterday. ;-) Thanks for your suggestion.
