I have a 2840 SCSI controller, which, as I understand,
has the same chip set and driver. I find that to get the
boot floppy up, I have to have a kernel that knows about
only the 2940 controller, not all the vast panoply of SCSI
and other controllers. At least I could not get the kernel
on the stock boot floppy to boot successfully.
I replaced the kernel on the boot floppy with my old kernel,
which worked fine. I'll recompile a new, later kernel later,
but that worked enough to get me up.
Maybe someone can tell me the right way to do this.
