That all depends:)
It's a long time since I made boot floppies (prefer bootable CD's)
but if I'm not mistaken mkboot uses your current kernel. So if all
the scsi stuff is compiled in all's swell. But if (part of) the SCSI
stuff is compiled as modules you need to use initrd to get to those
modules in time.
