Thanks, I remember in my first ETH Oberon, I couldn't scroll-down 
to read how-to-scroll-down.

IIRC I tested to confirm that another CD [debian etch] *COULD*
boot, with the 32GB-problem-hda. So it seems a problem of A2's CD.
And then, IIRC, I tried the A2 CD with BIOS 'not recognising hda',
to further isolate the 32GB problem from the CD. It still failed.

I can't test it again till I take the PC off its current job's settings.
It's amazing that no one has yet made a utility to restore all the
settings to allow a PC to be switched off.
That's a perfect example of Alvin Toffler's 70's "replacing material
by intelligence". Eg. so that we don't need the PCs to run 24/7.

Then this becomes a FURTHER pending project.
