 ET> How can you boot from a RamFS ramdisk without booting from a floppy or
 ET> from a harddisk partition?

By booting from a CD. Dunno how they do it exactly, but at the boot two 2.8 
floppies are emulated and "installed". From these the whole os is installed 
onto a Z: Ramfs station. Out from this Ramfs station then new and/or existing 
partitions are updated .


 KS>> Incidentally, this very week we discovered how to boot from SCSI
 KS>> Adaptecs. Finally!

 ET> The Adaptec SCSI BIOS has the option to boot from a SCSI cdrom drive.


Yes it has. However, you won't boot eCS with a SCSC cd-rom just like that.



    Groeten uit Gent,
