Actually, I think the much simpler method suggested by the OP should work perfectly well. Personally I would use "cp -a" rather than dd, but I don't see why dd should not work. I don't see why there should be any need to make a new initrd - the initrd with the distribution should work with scsi discs - presumably the kernel will load the required scsi modules. Personally (again) I prefer to compile my own kernel with scsi included in the kernel rather than as a module, but this should not be necessary. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
