True. But maybe that's because I used some spindown timeout, too.
I'm very suspicious with HDD spindown now...

bearings)

Sure.
You have to use tulip anyway, AFAIK.
And of course your ping didn't work.
I told you that you need to put it in promiscuous mode (tcpdump)
for it to work.

Nope.
The BIOS needs to know the offset of the file, of course.
As soon as you move it you're screwed.
