The 4.1 release notes speak of booting from CDROM, although the examples
seem to apply to the Turbochannel machines.  The information specific to
the 3520/3540 is very sparse.

My TQK70 card has remained in the same slot so I have never monkeyed with
the vectors.  I am sure someone on the list has, however.

What is the number on your board in the last slot. If the card in your
last slot is a M9060 it would be your power supply load module, otherwise
the number will identify it.
