[Devil-linux-develop] support for loadable drivers like SCSI drivers

[Friedrich L. <fl...@fl...>]

Hi!

For now if one has got a SCSI-CDROM he can't use Devil Linux with it.
We already have the scsi modules in the inital ramdisk, correct?
So why don't we define a way a user can specify which scsi driver to
load during boot?

I suggest creating a file /etc/initrd-modules which the whole list
of all scsi modules, initaly each line commented out with '#'. This
way the user just needs to uncomment the line, eg.
 aic7xxx
if he owns an Adaptec SCSI controller.

Comments?
