I have an 8600 I got with no drive at all, so it has been run off of a Trio and a 120GB EIDE drive as the boot drive from the beginning. Just boot off of an OS install CD and use Apples drive setup to get everything ready, just like any other cherry system.
Just a thought though, since your gonna have to initialize the drive in the first place ... Partition it now with the first partition less than 8 GB, it'll make it a lot easier to upgrade to X in the future. -- Rob AOL IM wingnut022074 Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. --Winston Churchill -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
