Hey Everyone!

I finally got my 20020321 system booted by changing the cdroms and
unplugging the floppy drive. Who knows why.

Anyway:  I boot up fine, but I can't find instructions anywhere on
loading the system right onto a partition and booting from it.  Is this
possible yet???

Also; Jake: I know you have a lot on your mind, but making the /etc load
on to a RAM drive or symbolically linking files like; /etc/resolv.conf,
/etc/ssh/sshd_config; /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key* to /var/etc would make the
system substantially more useable - you could get name resolution
allowing more daemons to run.  SSHD could generate its
/var/etc/ssh/*host_key* on boot and you could get in remotely. =20


Let me know if I can contribute!  Looking forward to the next version!
  Steve B.
