you can use 16 MB Millenium DoC as the boot device, as Ollie demonstrated
in Atlanta. As I said, you can use any size Millenium DoC when the are
available. If people read that as DoC 2000, there's not much I can do to
help that, that's where you come in Bari :-)
Thanks for bringing this up. I think we all wish Millenium would release
those bigger DoC, but they have been available as samples for some time
now. What I really need is that 1024 byte IPL area, since without it we'll
probably never get VIA chips working with DoC.
