This still happens for the current latest 1.6 snap (09-Dec-06) when booting
from the live CD for me.I'd love to get DFly installed on this machine
(since 1.2 and 1.4 worked fine), but 1.6 is proving to be a challenge.I've
seen the suggestions of using gcc-2 to build boot0, but is difficult since I
don't have a DFly build environment nor a livecd instance.Any ideas on how
to fix this?--Matt Emmerton
