Yes, that's right.  My problem was that none of the manuals that I have
contain the magic command that will allow me to boot the sysgen program.
I received a reply from several people at 3Com including Jeremy Siegel.
Jeremy's answer was right on the mark.  The command I was looking for was
"bt 1d".

To their credit, 3Com has been very helpful.  I think that most of my problems
came from the salesman who sold me the CS210.  He no longer works for the
company I bought it from.  The company I bought it from has also been very
helpful and has put me in touch with the 3Com rep who said he would find
the necessary manuals.

For now, all is well in Network City.

	Thanks,
