Comments/Problems:
During this install I encountred two problems.
1) 2.6 kernel from RC2 wan't able to use SCSI controolers on this board.
Hw detection loaded aic79xx module, but it (module) remained silent.
I had to install from 2.4 kernel and then upgrade to 2.6.8 kernel.
2) Another problem were new SCSI discs. Their MBRs were null (and I prefere
installing lilo in /boot partition boot record, especially on software RAIDs).
I think it's resonable to include mbr package in netinst CD, install it and
provide an option to install MBRs on discs (or maybe it's better to provide
mbr as installer components & install MBR's during discs partitioning).
