I have a 1.2 and 2.0(2disks), and the former will boot (target mode) while
the latter will not. I have tried to get it to boot on 2 different
machines, and it simply "hangs" with a black-screen. Both machines are
pentium, both have Pheonix bios set to boot from cd.
I cannot find _any_ comments about this problem online other than Luis'.

The manual includes instructions for extracting the cd bootfloppy image
(they include a shellscript that pulls a boot image file from a directory
on the cd). I tried it... it yields "Operating System not found" on my
boxen.

Although the host environment must be an approved distro, cd booting _is_
part of setting up the generic target environment.
BTW: It is not clear to me at this time how to use HHL for a 486 target.
They have "supported targets", and each target gets a toolchain. Either
the Professional edition has one, or we get to Build Our Own? BOO is
obviously possible, but just as obviously we lose most of the benefit of
being associated with them if we do.
