Comments/Problems:
My system has SCSI hard drives and CDROM connected to a Adaptec 274x
EISA card. This card should be supported by the aic7xxx driver, but the
floppy boot never loaded the module. I was able to install RC1 on
another system that used the aic7xxx, but that system booted directly
off the CD. This system also uses a NIC that's supported by the HPLAN_PLUS
module, which apparently is not part of the net-driver.img floppy.
