Some more news on this side: it seems that once the cd-drivers floppy is loaded, it can (and actually does) eject the floppies after reading them. Could it be that the "eject" utility is located on this floppy image? In this cas, it would probably be a good idea to move it to the root floppy (at least on OldWorld PPC, or only on PPC floppies).

It seems I have at least a SCSI one, but it does not work nicely (again, once the cd-drivers floppy is loaded): it gets detected multiple times, and at least the first one doesn't work like expected, it is impossible to partition and format. > > ~ # ls /lib/modules/2.6.16-1-powerpc-miboot/kernel/drivers > > base ieee1394 net scsi > > > > No ide here! > > > > I found the ide drivers on the cd-drivers.img.
