Actually, it IS possible...I ran into the oh, SO very wonderful /dev/sd0a problem, and had to run my 2.2.5 kernel to get the details on fixing it, and to actually fix it. As for the driver, well, I can't guarantee THAT will work, but your boot should. On the other hand, 2.2.6 is a minor version, so the driver will most likely work (but, since I don't have the details, don't take my word for it). -Jon Mischo On Fri, 27 Mar 1998, Viren R.
