Oh yeah, there are some 'pauses'...  Slow as a house on wheels, but it does
crank along.

I had symlinks that had the MAC converted to hex, but without the SUN4U
bit, first I have heard of that, the links to the bootable image were all
ending in .img.  Put one in with the SUN4U tail and we'll try it as soon as
der mensch arrives and unlocks the doors.  Thanks for the leg up.  I had
hoped it was something this simple/stupid.
