The same machine was booted with different hard drives, and the master would boot from F11 fine, while the copied disks failed in two instances. I know that the appearance of the F11 option can be toggled by the CMOS and we have a utility to switch it on if it had been disabled. If udpcast is reading from the entire drive then, as I said, I can't see where it might be missing any data. I will try the dd/gzip/ftp disk image method and see what happens.

I suspect that the setting might be stored in the BIOS's CMOS memory rather than on disk itself. Indeed, if it was on disk, the whole-disk udpcast copy (/dev/hda) would have transferred it just fine.
