Joe, Did you ever try a floppy with smartbootmanager? It comes on the slackware install CD's and works on the most improbable of boot devices. I've had some good experiences with it. There's even a smboot.exe to be found somewhere on the web if you're realy desparate;) Good luck, HarM (back again;))
