mbr and boot question

[Ben Duncan]

Did it ALWAYS with my COL 2.3 server distro. Never did use the WS 
version stuff.

It could have been maybe there was no boot command by default, and I 
did not now enuff to check at the time.
That was about the time the Lilo/Grub stuff was going with COL and I 
gave up and switch to SuSe ...

BUT also consider that this IS a dual bus machine. I have primary SCSI 
(4 x 16GB IBM - which still is not
enough) and then added a 60GB ata removable IDE to it for near line 
storage.
