I think I tried to redo initfs.gz once and could not get it working. If 
you want to post a scsi-capable initfs.gz I am can put a scsi drive into a 
computer (probably as a second drive since I am not good at getting DOS to 
boot from a scsi drive), put DOS and BL3 on it in sda1, and try to install 
to hd from there.
