I did something similar. When I installed woody in this box, I got a
friend's HD, copied his /usr, / and /var partitions, etc to my
HD. Then, I just had to configure lilo and I had a woody box
running. (I also had to delete his user account and add mine, but you
won't need to do that)
It's worth trying... Just don't forget tto add all the SCSI stuff into
the kernel.
