Hi Jacques
I'll gladly write something, but let me first get it to boot from the
DoC ;-)
The hold-up is that the leaf install script is heavily geared towards
booting from a floppy and then installing on a ramdisk.
Anyway, I'm still trying to hack the install script to install to the

When I last setup a DOC based system, I boot
