Yes, it's possible, but if he doesn't have a SCSI-only system he may be
able to access the floppy disk drive (AFAIK, those are also SCSI on
sparcs), and load the SCSI drivers from a different floppy (I'm still
talking about floppy-booted installations here). That's why I said he
doesn't need those drivers on the first boot-floppy unless he has a
SCSI-only system.
For CD-based installations things may get a bit harder, but we have been
talking about using bigger floppy images for CDs. The whole set of
modules will fit in there.
