In fact, boot-floppies selects which modules go onto the drivers disk.
The slink drivers disk for tecras doesn't have scsi modules. The drivers
disk for lowmem system (a few releases ago) didn't have modules on
several sections. It's trivial to exclude another section or selected
modules. It's just a matter of adding the proper "rm" on boot-floppies
kernel.sh.
