hello,
      i'm trying to find a way to have my system boot
into scsi instead of ide.  due to some weird crap on
the mobo, i cant boot _directly_ to scsi, but i can
boot to ide, where the bootloader prompt will allow be
to do like 1:da(0,a)/kernel and boot up.  is there
something i can write to the ide drive or to the
bootloader itself to take 1:da(0,a)/kernel??  i was
looking around in the man pages and found a line "set
root_disk_unit", but i am unsure on how to apply this
variable to the loader without destroying the system
=(  -- am i in the right neighborhood or should i be
looking elsewhere?

thanks in advance
