Thanks! I appreciate that information. This advances me miles from where I was going. My plan at this point is to pull the flash chip, read it, and compare the contents to a known bin file.

One thought I had was to just say screw it with the existing OS, and see if I can figure out a way of reconstructing the appropriate file system on the chip and make a version of freenas work. Although, my thoughts are that the chip may not be big enough, but, if the BIOS can boot into a section of flash ram, perhaps I could install a boot loader there, and then point it towards a partition on a drive?

Not sure where i"m heading but this is my thought process so far.

Thanks *alot*
