Um, bash is too stupid to handle:
if [ ~`hostname` = ~6M ];then;NM=tomsrtbt;else;NM=`hostname`-tomsrtbt;fi
It is only supported and tested with ash. There are more quirks than you
would think between bourne shells, it turns out that usually ash is fairly
good at running bash scripts, which is one of the reasons I chose it, it
is kind of funny to have bash fail on an ash script. Um, it looks like
bash doesn't allow you do do if/then/else all on the same line... how
lame. Just keep ash? Split that line and it will work until the next
broken thing... It should work, you know. Submit a bug to GNU. It works
if I replace all the semicolons with newlines, which means bash should
work. Duh.

Use ftp://ftp.toms.net/rb/ElTorito.288.bin.bz2 if you want to use the
ElTorito method of making a CD bootable.
