I've got the system booting from the hd - thanks for the help.
I can also start up the PCMCIA ethernet card and
if I set ifconfig eth0 then I can ping my router and the
other machines in my home. My router serves DHCP
addresses to the machines in my house. How do I
set up BasicLinux to get a DHCP address from my
router?
