So to summarise:
In the kernel:
- USB mass storage
- PCMCIA
That should take care of most unusual cases. Or
perhaps parport IDE too? :p
The boot script on the rescue disc will have to be
changed - right now it searches for the root disk in
the /dev/fd0 only.
Another solution will be to use an initrd for the root
disk, on the same first floppy. Most distributions
nowadays do *not* use two floppies to kick-start the
install program.
Off now building my custom kernel 2.4-based installer
with XFS support...
Regards,
Michel
