Could it be simply a misunderstanding. That the reference was confusion over
having such an append statement for booting from scsi hard drives? Since it
worked for ide-cd burning the author left well enough alone. or, is
lllllllama right for kernel <2.3.x ?
What I *do* know is that *if* you want a genuine ide modular device
(such as an ls120 = ide-floppy), you need to to have that module load
_before_ ide-scsi, otherwise it will not be seen as such (harking back to
llllama's statement).
If someone is on a 2.2.x kernel and could try the modprobe method, it would
assist making the SxS a little less fearsome.
