That was one game-plan, made slightly more complex by the fact that its 
*only* bootable device is the CF card, unless one wants to solder a 
surface-mount IDE header to the system board, which wouldn't be nearly 
as much fun.

I know, no biggie to just trim the CD contents down (assuming they're 
not CRAMed, which just adds another layer of fun) to <512 and dump them 
onto the CF card. In theory.

Why oh why did I network my answering machine?
