What I really meant was the diskette that you have the option to create
at the end of the installation. What you have boots you into a ram disk
with minimal functionality. The emergency boot disk created at the end
of the installation knows all about your scsi controller/drive and boots
you into your actual installation on the hard disk.
What kind of scsi controller do you have? Do you know which driver it
needs?
