Thanks to those on the list who tried to assist with this. I'll share my findings....My mobo is an Amptron PM7900, not a PC Chips, and the Amptron site has an upgrade which enables CDROM boot. :) See http://microelec.uab.es/~marin/ and follow the link to the PC Chips M520 bios lottery page. Excellent piece of work, hope this helps someone else who's got the same problem. -- This sig brought to you by SuSE 6.3 and sendmail.
