i got plex86 booting.. and i have one more question.. (i didn't want to waste
the groups time (not to mention not get an answer) and you were very helpful -
thank you- . .. does plex86 support CDROMs? (when running linux)... i would
like to install a linux system under my linux system but my linux boot image
gets to /sbin/loader and then quits and the only errors talk about CDROMS...
Thanks again
David
