Sounds good, but it also sounds like the problem I ran into when I |
| 15 |
used ext3 for my boot partition and found that BIOS couldn't read it. |

do much more but that first step is a requirement. |

Report back when you get it running. I have a couple of old XBoxes |

FYI - when I did this project it was to use the XBox as a MythTV frontend. |
