This is booting with /vmlinux root=/dev/sdb.

I'm at work at the moment, so I'm not in front of the Indy.  I didn't
transcribe the rest, but as I recall, hard drive model and size are
reported (correctly) for sda and sdb, followed by a line with Dave
Miller's address.  The three lines I did write out came next.

My previous two boot attempts got hung up before the network detection,
seemingly because of the floptical and CD drives.  I yanked out the
first and switched off the second.

Should I be doing something to partition sdb?

Thanks,

Mike

Trying to boot the kernel (2.1.90) I can now get beyond the SCSI
detection stage but now it stops at this point:
	Sending BOOTP and RARP requests............. timed out!
	IP-Config: Auto-configuration of network failed.
	Partition check:

Hm.  The bootup actually stops at that point?  It doesn't identify any
partitions or complain about any errors?  This sounds like a SCSI
problem
to me.

In theory, you should be able to boot with 'vmlinux root=/dev/sdb'.
