Is it OK for me to put that on the web site? I have only one suggestion -- rather than using fdisk to create a single partition and then formatting that as ext2, we might as well just put the ext2 file system on /dev/nftla (i.e. the whole device), and use (dc0) in Grub instead. BTW, did your 'factory marked' bad blocks in step 10 really match the ones from step 2? I'm still suspicious of nftl_format. It would be _really_ nice if we could use DFORMAT -- either a Linux port of DFORMAT to replace nftl_format and/or working out how to turn our Grub image into a .EXB file so it can be loaded directly by DFORMAT. -- dwmw2
