FAQ replys suggest that non-TURBO NeXTs will not boot off the CD-ROM. How can I generate the operating system if I dont have a 2.88 stiffy drive? If you look in the release notes, there will be some instructions for booting off of a CD-ROM in the case that you have the old ROM set. They assume you have a floppy drive. Go ahead and follow their direction, but instead of overwriting the boot block of the floppy disk, go ahead and overwrite the boot block of the hard drive you plan to put 3.0 onto. Then boot off of that hard drive. This is what I did, and everything worked just dandy. Mike
