i had a nother idea today, the eee comes with grub... the more knowledgable are already holding their heads :]
because i dont have the boot sector and /boot, i thought grub could maybe load bsd.rd but all i got was the 'boot too old' message well known from the archives. it was worth a shot... is there another boot loader that can boot bsd.rd wihout chainbooting? i can use everything available in the linux world to boot a single bsd.rd: does bsd.rd work without /boot? until recently i thought /boot just handles the file system and starts /bsd but now i see some posts that it is handing over some bios data too... -f -- two most common in the universe elements: hydrogen, stupidity.
