Yes, that's it :-)   We get together every year in a different European 
country, and this year we had a LinuxBios workshop during the week, which 
resulted in a working DoC boot on an SiS motherboard.

Yes, that was the problem.   Ron already gave me some help with this, and now 
less than 48 hours after getting a DoC device I have a working system booting 
from DoC (including the IDE power-on spin-up patch to make sure cold boots 
work too).

Thanks for the help.

Antony.
