Hi Leonard
Thanks for the comments. You are entirely correct, except perhaps for the
last part here about what did and did not work for me. I did indeed build
the modules and install them - after all everything works fine once it

Clearly booting a scsi system with a modular kernel works -

If the ramdisk from the floppy works, why not copy it to /boot ?

It's always been my understanding that you can't boot from a SCSI
disk using a modular SCSI driver, because linux has to be able to

This PC boots fine from a floppy, but I've long since forgotten what
