   I got it installed by setting the boot options to "no ide dma" when the   
   BeOS splash screen first appears and you press spacebar.   
   Got the USB all patched up and now I'm working on getting the   
   networking all set up. Luckily I have a desktop machine running BeOS to   
   refer to.
