So harddrives are supported?
I guess I could look at getting a drive for it.
For some reason I have been netbooting, I guess because it's easier.
Still running 1.6.2. here till I can find a way around this.
It appears to just read the kernel and stop.

No further contacts or queries...
Will pull src from 1.6.2+ and move forward till I can find the offending 
code change.
