Brad,

I kinda thought I was vague. I just grabbed ftp.lrp
and will install it tonight so I that can ftp off
command output.

I will try to answer some of your questions inline.

No, I did not have ntfs.o loaded. fdisk did report the
filesystem as HPFS/NTFS (or maybe it was NTFS/HPFS). I
didn't realize they were the same. I assumed it was
NTFS because the DoC did have embedded WinNT running
on it. Do I need ntfs.o in order to wipe out the
filesystem ?

I did not remember the exact error messages. What is
the best way to capture this info...nevermind I see
there is a script.lrp, I will install it as well.

Thanks for the pointer. I know for a fact I did see
the "Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID FF found
at 0xc8000" type messages at boot. I also know I did
not have the mkfs.msdos executable. I guess I need to
install mkdosfs.lrp and will do so.

I will capture it and command output tonight and send
a more informative message. Thanks for replying !
