Ah ha!  Thats the missing piece.  In VMS terms is was secondary boot.  I'm 
lacking the protocal knowledge to write a qe driver so that's more than I 
could tackle.

I only have a MVII (sandwitched into a BA23) and a vs2000 here so hardware 
is limited as well.  I just happen to have a functional VMS MVII with enough 
of disk space.  I lack a unix node.
