All fine, except the scsi modules are loaded during the initrd thing. Nice
of them to mention that it doesen't use /etc/modules.conf for the scsi
modules eh?
cd /boot
cat initrd-2.4.20-x.img | gunzip >/tmp/initrd.ext2
mount -t ext2 -o loop /tmp/initrd.ext2 /mnt/floppy
cd /mnt/floppy
{ now fix up /mnt/floppy/linuxrc to insmod the relevant scsi module and
copy that module to /mnt/floppy/lib/ }
cd
umount /mnt/floppy
cat /tmp/initrd.ext2 | gzip >/boot/initrd-2.4.20-myinit.img
{ now adjust grub/lilo to include a new section with the initrd changed }.
