Yup, That's what i have to do. I'm suspecting it's either my scsi card or my
isa SB 64. I've always had to power down from NT and turn the machine back on
to get to Linux. It's a real pain espically now with SP4 applied the thing
takes even longer to shut down. Maybe I should switch to ARC, Wait  a minute I
don't know how to use that :). Thanks.
