Re: debian-user-digest Digest V99 #2082
Did you check the bootprompt HOWTO? There are sometimes special
parameters for SCSI cards.
The kernel won't compile with multiprocessor support on the install--
it'll just use the first processor. So you'll need to recompile after
your install with multiprocessor support.
