Hmpf.  Bruce?  Couldn't this be avoided?

So maybe it's no longer the case in 2.2... i'm not very confident with
the slice code.

NEW_SCSICONF is the default configuration method now.

NB: this will no longer work in 2.2, the machine ID doesn't get
automatically converted into a -D switch.

This could not work.  You need 2.2, so you can use the ``SCSI type
override code''.  You might have noticed that my patch looked like:

	{
		T_DIRECT, T_OPTICAL, T_REMOV, "IOMEGA", "ZIP*"
		    , "*", "od", SC_ONE_LU
	},

i.e., there's one additional field now.


Even the most recent 2.2 bootblocks don't work for you?
