Can someone verify if the 4000 will boot with no drives attached?

I know the 4100 will which proves the OS is in the flash (java/help files are on the drive).

If I change the platformbytes to 2 0 0 (4000 series), it boots with the error:
Pseudoflash partition not found. Return from read -2.

Which again leads me to believe the OS for the 4000 is on the drive?

There was a quote a long while back in the thread that indicated this was the case for "newer" snapservers with the modified BSD OS.

Just curious if I could get the first 64MB of a 4000 drive, then maybe it will boot as a 4000 and get me around the LBA 48 issue.
