I'm testing BMR and trying a somewhat complex restore for the first try.
We've done a BMR backup of one of our Windows servers and I am trying to
restore it to another box, our old BackupExec server.  Both are Dell
boxes, but different models.

I've created a custom boot disk using the DOS NIC and MSD drivers for
the restore client.  I've looked through the BMR Sys Admin guide and saw
several references to doing something with the new MAC address, but I
never saw what to do.  So, here's what happens:

With the boot disk in, started a restore process and rebooted the
restore client.

It goes through the normal post operations and then:

Starting PC Dos...

IBM RAMDrive ver 3.10 virtual disk C:
Disk Size: 2048K
Sector: 512 bytes
AllocationUnit: 2 Sectors
Directory Entries: 64

And then it just sets there.  I've tried generic boot disk, custom.
I've copied the current config on my BMR'd Windows box, and tried the
restore with that config.  Still nada.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jason
