[rescue] Trying to revive my E450

[Lionel Peterson]

SCSI DVD players aren't THAT hard to find, and I'm pretty sure that the E450
can not 'boot from USB'.

Booting from a network share is an option, including booting from a shared DVD
drive - I know, I did that with LX machines in a Solaris class decades ago.
