Excuse my ignorance, as I haven't been following this thread. It sounds
like this machine was built to be on a Netware network, with a boot PROM
(on the motherboard?) that fires up if you don't tell it to do something
else. I take it you've checked the BIOS to see if there is an option for
where to boot from (there usually is)? If this has all been covered
earlier in the thread, I apologize.
