I've been booting up and running off of SCSI disks day
in and day out for weeks on gthe same kernel, when I boot
off the disk itself and not a boot floppy. This read-only
problem only started a couple days ago, and I haven't changed
my kernel in 3 weeks or so.
So how could my kernel forget about SCSI disks when I
create a boot floppy? I did it via mkboot and also via the
"yard" suite. Same results each time.
Is there something special I have to do to tell my kernel
that there are SCSI disks at the time I make the boot floppy?
