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.
