Re: new bootdisks available



What worked for me on my IPX (which I posted earlier) was to use, at 
the SILO prompt:

	/fd;1/linux

Which is directly from the `help' in SILO.  I'm assuming this is taken from
the boot PROM, as /fd is a "shortcut" to /sbus/whatever?

Don't quote me on it though. ;-)
