All:

I have been working with booting off a USB stick to repair and reload Guardian OS units. Initial results have been very encouraging... I will post the whole diary here when I finish up and document it. Initial work was just making a boot stick on a Linux machine and loading up the Guardian boot stuff from a working GuardOS server. I added SuperGrub to the mix and stated playing with it. It has reloaded a broken 4500 booting off the stick and copying data off of another GuardOS server mounted with NFS... It has saved me a bunch of time already...

First cut will be done in 10 days or so... Maybe sooner....

*UPDATE* The boot stick works on a 4400 as well. I thought the BIOS would be too old, but, surprise !!
