I used a bootable Linux CD, actually SUSE Live Eval,
not the one suggested, and made the PCMCIA drive
Active. It was FDISK and Formatted with Windows 98.
Still won't boot though. I doubt if this feature can
be made to really work. It's probably a feature they
were thinking about and started to implement but never
finished making it useable, kind of like USB that only
works half the time.
