Greetings netlanders,

I have a '040 cube with a working optical, 33o internal maxtor, and
the NeXT CDROM drive.  I would like to build a clean system from the
3.0 CDROM.  I also have UpGradePrep.app on optical disk.

Could anyone who has gone through this process, e-mail me a brief
description of the process?  Here's where I am confused:

The Release Notes say that if one does not have a Turbo, one must have
the CD-ROM Tools floppy in one's floppy disk drive and then boot from
floppy and CD-ROM.  Can I put CD-ROM Tools on the optical disk?

Next, they say if you have an internal floppy disk type bfd at the rom monitor
prompt.  If I use the optical, should I say bod?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
