Since you're going to put the root partition on the SCSI disk,
make sure that you compile the sd and the driver for your SCSI
controller directly into the kernel (i.e., not a module). Also,
if you're getting one of the fast ones (10K or 15K), they run
pretty hot, so it's a good idea to either get a fan for it, or
make sure your chassis moves air well in general.
