that tar solution a couple back sounds great. that's what i'll try next
time. the filename is "base1_1.tgz".
what i've been doing as a partial solution is putting base1_1.tgz in the
file system, and booting from the first two disks. These find tha
base1_1.tgz file if it is in the first two levels of the mounted
filesystem.
