I tried this to support my ATAPI CD-ROM. It was a mistake. Although I did
learn much while patching up the errors and omissions that resulted, It
was counterproductive.

I ftp'd the 2.1.5 minimal installation, plus man pages and source for the
kernel, and installed that without a hitch. That 2.1.5 boot floppy found
all of my devices without problems. I am impressed.
