Good point. And it worked for 4.39 but not for 4.37. Not sure why I
had 4.37 anyway, so I'm on 4.39 now...

Well, I do know why I was on 4.37. I can't locate my installation
CD (or was it a download?) for 4.39. I did have the ROM image. I
was actually starting up on 4.39 and softloading 4.37 on it... But
I suppose the !Boot directory is still 4.37. Oh well. Not using it
too much anyway.
