I have two ext2 partitions on each of two scsi drives, but something is 
wrong with the controller and I am trying to fix it from the IDE loop BL3.
I have not tried ramdisk BL2 with my scsi kernel.

I think I will replace the controller.  I had suspected the first drive 
was bad.  I get pages and pages of errors randomly when copying files, or

I don't have another SCSI computer set up right now.  Several of our 
computers have died recently.  We were trying to set up one SCSI computer 
(a Compaq that came with scsi card and drive and complained about the IDE 
drives - insert the diagnostic disk) but someone just gave us an e-machine 
(to which we can transfer the IDE drives and faster cpu from a computer 
that finished dying) so I will rob the card out of the SCSI computer to 
put into mine and see if that fixes the problem somehow.
