Well then, I sit corrected. :-) I'll be honest and tell you that
I've never TRIED booting directly off SCSI, since my system at work
is all IDE and my system at home has a small (850 meg) IDE drive as
it's /boot drive. :-) I was just going by what I'd been told by
people who've been running linux for a LOT longer than I have. :-)
