Hi!
	For those having trouble setting the boot drive, here's the solution.
There's this little CDEV (Control Panel Device) call *Startup Device*.  Call
this little puppy up in the control panel and you'll get a listing all HD
partitions.  Just set one of them to startup and close it all.  An alternative
that also works is to highlight the partition/drive you want to set as startup,
go to the *Special* menu and select *set startup*.  it'll give you the needo
dialog box asking if you want to set ****** to startup with *****.  say yes and
reboot.  That's it.  One of those two ought to work.
