I tried that earlier. Actually with just b it will search all the drives 
if one is available to boot from but I didn't know if it needed any 
parameters after that to boot. Like the boot harddisk appreantly boots 
via boot sc(ncsc(0),0)root:/dg-ux -3

Maybe I have to write the ISO differently to get it to boot.
