Yeah - I just "assumed" that something as simple as a bootblock would 
most likely work without problem.

Yep - I figured that part out, too.

What I really wanted to know is (1) is/are known issues with the
-current bootblock code, (2) have I found some new problem (in which
case, what info is needed tohelp get it fixed), or (3) if I did
something wrong.  Your response implies that (3) is the wrong answer,
which makes me feel less like a PC dummy.  :)

So, is/are there known issues with -current bootblocks, or what info do
people need to figure out my problem?
