As I wrote in my message, I tried it with several different
boxes with very different hardware (and different SCSI host
adapters). So that was probably not causing the problem.
That's just what I did: Insert kern.flp and CD-ROM #1, boot,
insert mfsroot.flp when requested. Kernel will find the CD-
ROM drive. Sysinstall doesn't recognize it, unless it's an
IDE CD-ROM drive.
