Hmm, I understand what you're asking and what it means, however actually 
/doing/ it is beyond my skills at the moment.

I haven't had a chance to bring down the box and try booting from a 
liveCD, but based on the above, I don't think that's likely to work.

Thanks for your help, but I'm feeling a little discouraged at this point.


Cheers,
