Thanks, I had a feeling that might of had something to do with it.  I
was able to get it to boot, but in an indirect manor.  After booting
from an old PCMCIA external HD (8.6 on it) I was able to install the
cdrom drivers and set startup disk to boot from it.  Sometimes that
worked and other times it didn't.  Now that I installed the OS,
however, it's not a big deal to boot.  This is my first PB 2400 and
it's hard not having the drives build-in.
