Re: dac960 devices on boot-floppies



An acceptable alternative would be to provide dac960 support as a module.
Allow the user to load modules BEFORE initializing a hard disk so the
driver can be loaded. Allow the user to manually specify an install target
if none are autodetected.

In this way I could load DAC960 support on the install (loading the driver
floppy and selecting the dac960 module), then select partition a hard
disk. When the system returns that it did not find any disk, it should ask
if I want to specify a device. If it finds that device, it continues as
normal.

The part I hate is that debian tries to be smarter than I am and if it
does not see the disk, it assumes that it can not possibly exist so it
never gives me a chance to enter a device manually.
