Namely that the ATAPI kernel bootfloppy doesn't have a wcd0 device; thus requiring a messy workaround (DOS install, then kernel rebuild, put that on the floppy, then re-install) that I have yet to do. You may have done it already, but many would be very appreciative if you could add that device to kernel.ATAPI in the next SNAP. I know it seems incredibly pathetic, after all how hard is it to rebuild a kernel right, but in the middle of a clean install it matters because the workarounds are ridiculous for that one missing device. Or have I overlooked something tortuously obvious? Your efforts are Appreciated, Cord Ellis (cord@neosoft.com)
