I'm afraid I don't know. I used the text.gz rootdisk because it is very
easy to use with a braille display.
In the text.gz rootdisk, there were no /dev/sd* device files. I mknod
some and got SCSI access:
mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1
mknod /dev/sdb1 b 8 17
mknod /dev/sdc1 b 8 33
mknod /dev/sdd1 b 8 49
However, I found out that the text.gz rootdisk from my 4.0 slackware set
worked just fine so that might be a much better wigdit to use.
