That might prove workable for my desktop system, where ECS had to go onto
H/D #2 (anyway) because of that older BIOS / Boot distance problem, but it's
not going to fly on the single-large-H/D of the Shuttle. So, if SC 2000 can't boot
everything there *directly*, I'm going to have to give AirBoot or one of the others
a try.
