Well, for the sake of discussion, since the upgrades to 7.03 seem to
center on adding the floppy capability, is there any way to put together
a boot floppy like the VAX crew has?  Most of the 3100's I have run across
from Moo U have had the scsi floppy on them.  It would be ideal to be able
to use them for booting a system, as opposed to netbooting, if the floppy
is already there.  Even the 2100's apparently were scsi floppy capable with
the right roms, if I am reading the manuals correctly.
