Someone suggested that to me in passing.. but suggested 'boot -v' - I
was inable to figure out how to do that... There is no operating system
on the HD because I can't get this one on. It seems as If i'd have to
have had a working system to boot from a hard drive.. but I am so new
to this.. i'm still having a hard time dealing with the work kernal..
so..
But thanks for the tip. any more?
