I have a 486 50 Mhz EISA machine with an Award bios, a 
BusTek BT-742a SCSI card and a 540 mb connor drive attached.
I can boot off of the Tiny 386bsd floppy and run install just
fine, but when I try to boot off of the HD, it hangs with the
floppy drive spinning.  From what I have read here, it seems that
I should recompile the kernel with julian's SCSI drivers, which I
do not have the resources to do.  Is there an FTP site that I can
get a dist.fs patched with the SCSI drivers?  Any help, comments, etc
would be greatly appreciated!
