I tried installing gnap on a hard drive, and it works. when I run the
exact same command to install it on the DOM I get the blank screen w/
flashing cursor. Any thoughts other than using partition magick or
something the copy the data from the workign hard drve to the DOM? I
have several variations I need to create that will take some time.
