    Geez, I don't remeber. But what does seem to filtering in is that I
    didn't use dd any any point. I seem to remeber typing in a single line,
    with no pipes or redirection.

    Ok, this is what I will try first.

    In other news, I actually managed to find a copy of the original OS, so
    I'm going to try an install with that first. The
    commands/exploration/etc. shouldn't be much different that what you
    have outlined above, Sadly the video output uses a DB-15, so I need
    some sort of adaptor.
