Perhaps this has already been answered, but is it possible to boot from
CD-ROM under 3.0?  I've heard a little bit both ways.  When I went to
the computer store here (where I would buy the CD-ROM), they said to ask
someone from NeXT.  Anyway, I'm considering that as an option to a
bigger hard drive--leave all the system stuff on CD, and use the
internal hard drive as swap and local storage.  Can it be done?
Thanks.
