I may just be missing one important thing: how do you boot? I would 
really *love* to get rid of annoying harddisk drives, which may fail 
eventually and which FOR SURE are noisy. On the other hand, I wouldn't 
want to have users calling me for having lost their boot floppy.
What is the cleanest solution to this?
