My BL3 loop file boots with loadlin on all but two computers, and I have 
it working from D:\baslin, e:\baslin, and f:\baslin as well as c:\baslin.
I tried without DOS system files too.  BL2 ramdisk/HD and BL3 HD boot with 
loadlin okay on these computers.  It is the computer hardware somehow.

What is this?  I would be interested to try it on our two Gateways.
