John,
Let me be the first to congratulate you on a fine procedure and
excellent work in doing this! I now have my websurfer proo running
without a hard drive! Next project will be PCMCIA for wireless support,
then USB ethernet plugged ( I know this works already).
Suggestion:
On your dos boot, create an autoexec.bat that contains simply '@echo off'
so it doesn't ask you for the date/time each time you boot.
I had to go about it a bit differnetly since I didn't have a floppy drive,
but the same basic steps worked for me.
