Interesting, so you can't configure redboot to boot off of the SD card like you can with the CF on the 7200? The CF card is pretty simple, I think there are just three lines you have to do in redboot to make it work. I guess the SD card must be more complicated. Thanks for mentioning that, I'll look into it tonight. -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
