As I wrote in my message, I tried it with several different boxes with very different hardware (and different SCSI host adapters). So that was probably not causing the problem. That's just what I did: Insert kern.flp and CD-ROM #1, boot, insert mfsroot.flp when requested. Kernel will find the CD- ROM drive. Sysinstall doesn't recognize it, unless it's an IDE CD-ROM drive.
