I suppose I'll go through and look for changes that should be made to the 
official documentation, as well as put a pointer to this new doc there.

Thank you! Booting kernel CDs on a non-stable environment always seemed kind 
of silly to me, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.

I didn't realize it was that hacked-up. I'm glad to hear you're releasing a 
cleaner version, though. As mentioned before on this list, I've been running 
my Dreamcast as an anonymous remailer for some time now, and the *best* 
uptime I've seen was 2 weeks. Any improvement to stability would be very 
much welcomed. 

Oh, and since I seem to be the only person out there using my Dreamcast in a 
production environment, I'll be more than happy to help you out with 
logfiles, observations, etc., to tell you what's working in the "real 
world".
