SWEET!!!  as a reference, I just received my system/box...so I'm sure it
includes the 'latest/greatest'...but here's the command I used to boot:

> boot :4

But I'm still a bit mucked up as to how I repair/redo the MBR to:

1).  Not have to manually enter the command
2).  Fix the booting problem intially mentioned on this thread (about having
to manually power-cycle to get a clean reboot)

Thanks again! - Dave
