I just installed Linux on a SCSI only machine and it is running, though I've
got a resolution problem at the moment. Alan had told me that the only real
requirement was that the / "root" slice had to be withing the first 1024
blocks of the hard drive. Once I moved the install to the first partion, it
worked just fine. You may want to revisit your install procedures and look
at that, too.

You're going about it all wrong....type "startx" (minus quotes) to
load Xwindows and KDE should be the default Window Manager. :-)
Also, you only need to put your LILO in /dev/hda. Also, you may have
a problem due to the fact that the "off the shelf" kernel doesn't
support booting from SCSI, which may explain why it's trying to write
more than just LILO to the "C:" drive.
