indeed, for some reasons I thought it would replace my scripts
by the original ones, don't know why.. thanks.

Well for now the cd boot i've changed install.sh to do ${SH} -i
in order to have a shell prompt, so they are executing correctly

# dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3D/dev/rwd0d count=3D1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
512 bytes transferred in 0.003 secs (170666 bytes/sec)
