Ken look in the /install directory on the Ubuntu cdrom and check the 
README.sbm file. if you don't have access to a linux box with which you can 
dd the sbm.bin, you may do it with rawrite or rawrite2 or the win version of 
rawrite. the README mentioned above is pretty straight forward and should get 
you going.
