Um, I think the diisk is self booting. I'm almost positive that it requires
System Disk 4.0 to run, but I also have a feeling that it's a self booting
disk, which means you a) don't have to have two systems installed on your
HD but b) miss out on fast loading from the HD. Anyway, I'm basically rambling
as the news server doesn't like posting messages where there is only a small
amount of new text. All I really wanted to say is try booting the disk by
itself and see if that helps....
