I think the idea is to get that first 4MB set up for booting, as the dd
skips that space.

HP gives no instructions.? At least I can't find it on the support
pages.? I do have a support account.
You should just 'know' how to build a bootable device from a 9GB iso
image.

Yeah.? Going to work on it some more today.? Plus got a finish a paper
for a symposium.? I give up on learning tex; I found a word template
that can create the right pdf, so pull out all my writing in tex and
start over.? And I DO use the IETF's xml format for creating Internet
Drafts, so I am teachable on this stuff despite my age...
I do vaguely recall working with tex for writing back around '78, but
that was it.
