This boot disk contains a BETA testing version of the BusLogic driver
which supports the BusLogic FlashPoint SCSI adapters.  It is untested and
we can take no responsibility for the results of attempting to use it...

If you have a FlashPoint adapter and are willing to test it for us
(and preferably to test one more disk later; the current disk has
compiled-in support for the FlashPoint but we'll eventually want to
distribute modular support as we prefer to do for all SCSI adapters)
you can simply download it, gunzip it, dd it to a floppy, and boot
it.  Watch the boot messages for notice of detecting the FlashPoint
adapter.  If you don't wish to install, that's all we need to know;
just let me know if it was detected; send email to johnsonm@redhat.com

If you have access to a Red Hat Linux 4.0 CDROM or have good internet
access and want to try an install via ftp, you should be able to.
Assuming the disk works, after doing the install (and setting up LILO,
etc), boot *from the floppy* with "linux root=/dev/sd??" where "sd??"
is the root partition on the hard drive.  Then mount the floppy and
copy the vmlinuz off it into your /boot directory and re-run lilo.  At
that point, you should have a working Linux system -- we hope.  (The
driver *is* in beta-testing, after all, and in its first public
release.)
