Re: [colorforth] Booting from HDD

["John Comeau" <jc@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jason, I think my last release on sourceforge will boot from USB
but I don't have a jump drive to test it with. It ought to work
because it uses BIOS calls, and I think a USB boot will come up as the
"A" drive, but who knows what I might have overlooked...
