I cheated and use a solid state drive on some of the systems here as a boot drive. My main system has a SSD for booting (wheeee!) an HDD for data. The system used as MythTV Backend is HDD, mainly because doesn't get booted all that often so why spend the extra money. Others are SSD only, HDD only, or combination dependant on their use. > KM> I've been trying to get a MacOSX .vmdk to work... it boots, but > KM> only to a Shell> prompt.
