Booting flexibily was not exactly Apollo's strength, like networking was...I wish the engineers at Apollo had a bit more forsight to add more *new installation* booting options besides Tape and floppy. But then again, spending hours hacking on this old equipment is totally our choice. Lothar and Jim are pretty sharp, maybe they can hack the boot PROM to boot from CD and DDS for us ;-)
