Steve,
I downloaded the scsi.s folder from
http://ftp.tiscali.de/pub/slackware/slackware-7.1/kernels/scsi.s/ and
changed the boot.bat to run the "bzimage".  You are right when I cd to /cd
the folder is empty, no slakware directory or subdirectories.  What else do
I need to do?
TIA
Daryl

Have you replaced the BL2 kernel with an appropriate scsi
kernel from Slackware 7.1?

I assume you did:
------------------
mount /dev/sda /cd
mount /dev/sdb /hd
------------------
Did they produce any error messages?

I suggest you cd to /cd and have a look.  Is the slakware
directory there?  Is the a2 directory in slakware?  Is bin.tgz
in a2?  (The simplest way to do this is:  press d and use the
arrow keys to navigate around the directory tree).

I'm guessing that you will find the /cd directory is empty.
That means /dev/sda was never mounted (perhaps because you
are using a kernel without scsi capability).

Cheers,
Steven
