Sorry guys, the update of my website _really_ hasn't gone according to plan,
so i'm not going to get a chance to put together those instructions tonight.
I think i'm loosing the plot (need sleep bad), are there two threads going
on here?
Not sure that i can help with the one that's trying to boot off of a floppy,
don't know much about that, but the one who just wanted his/her aha152x
running at boot time might want to try my website. It's all about
scsi-emulation, but there's a section on doing the bootup bit, so it might
help.

If that's spamming or blatant advertising try
http://mandrakeuser.org/hardware/index.html
surely it's got to be okay to post that one ;o)
If that doesn't help (and it may not) post again and hopefully someone who's
had a bit more sleep can offer up some help.
Martin.
