no I haven't. If I try this from the LILO prompt, will it override the
conf.modules setting?

rofl. I guess I could try removing it altogether. One of my main
misunderstandings is how it boots successfully off the floopy. If I
understood that better, I wouldn't be so scared to try some of these
things. The last thing I want to do is get myself into a postition where I
can't boot it anymore - but I guess I can always use toms boot disk or
something.
So, how does it boot successfully off the floppy? Does it have the modules
and it's own conf.modules file on the floppy? It seems to me that booting
off the floppy means I everything in /boot setup correctly don't I?
I have been reminded that another option is to compile the aha1542 support
inot the kernel, but at this point I'd rather understand what's going on
here.
thanks
charles
