If /opt/bootlocal.sh is still being executed at startup, you could experimentally add in the commands there. If not, putting it in some other startup script should be fine.

If the e100/other driver(s) were removed/missing, download the corresponding DSL version of boothbox and copy the module(s) over.

If mydsl still is there, you could make some temporary .dsl's to test it out - which may be easier/faster than to remaster (the DSL base image) every time.

I will try these things you recommend. Would it be better if I remastered Boothbox using DSL, and used MyDsl to download what I needed? Another questions, so the driver I need for the NIC should already be in DSL? If this is the case all I need to do is copy the module over and package it up? As far as /opt/bootlocal.sh I believe it is still with Boothbox. What are some commands that I should try using to boot from eth1 instead of eth0?
