	Hi, I am seriously considering buying a NeXTstation.  I'm probably
going to use it as a standalone for the first year I have it.  As such,
I'm worried about booting up station.  Actually, the scenario I am thinking
about is that the hard drive fails to boot (remember, I'm a college student 
who can't afford to buy an second HD).  

	What options do I have to boot my station?  This is my biggest
concern.  Is there a striped version of the operating system on disk?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Please e-mail any and all responses,
I'll summarize in about a week or whenever the reply's stop comming in.

	Thanks!
