I am going to try bypassing config.sys to boot with my 2.4.31 scsi kernel, 
since 2.4.31 kernels won't boot on another computer unless I hit F5, and 
if that works, make a boot menu to go to DOS (with config.sys) or linux 
(without config.sys).

I considered using the BL3.40 'big' kernel but it has scsi and sd support 
without scsi controller support.  What file would I modify in order to 
insert aic7xxx.o during boot to loop BL3.40?  I don't think there is space 
in the file system to add a large module - what could I remove from 
initfs.gz to make space?  (I had to delete linuxrc~ to even unmount the 
file system).  Or would I need to copy initfs.gz to a larger size file?

It is simpler to use my already compiled scsi kernel, and bypass system 
files (assuming that works), and also have USB storage support.

Steven, do you want to compile a 'big' kernel with built-in aic7xxx?
Four of our scsi controllers (out of five) are that.
