Is there a way I can copy/paste these messages? I used a good old fashioned pen and paper to write down the last six lines. I really would like to avoid using this method for the whole boot sequence, which is about 50 lines. Again, I have to press [Stop]-A and do reset-all, or use the hard power switch on the back of the CPU. Can I still get "dmesg"-like output from failed boot attempts after "flipping the switch"? If so, how? If not, are there any key lines in the boot sequence that I should zero in on? I suppose if I really start to pull my hair out I could conceivably use pen and paper on 50 lines, but that would take me about an hour... Thanks -Dan
