John,
        Let me be the first to congratulate you on a fine procedure and 
excellent work in doing this!  I now have my websurfer proo running 
without a hard drive!  Next project will be PCMCIA for wireless support, 
then USB ethernet plugged ( I know this works already).

Suggestion:
On your dos boot, create an autoexec.bat that contains simply '@echo off' 
so it doesn't ask you for the date/time each time you boot.

I had to go about it a bit differnetly since I didn't have a floppy drive, 
but the same basic steps worked for me.
