You can format a disk, run install on it, and boot off of it. It has no files of any kind on it. So, WHY DO YOU NEED A DISK ANYWAYS? Please, have some way to just go directly to the CLI screen without using the disk drive. If my internal drive is dead, but my external is ok, I can always just say "df2:c/cd df2:" and start working from there.
