I have a machine with a aic7890 that I have to have working within a week
or so.  Given I have enough disk on another machine, I thought that I
could use a floppy to boot it diskless and use disk off another machine
until aic7890 support is available.  Unfortunately, I have some constraints
that cause a problem.  I can't use any network protocols (bootp, dhcp) for
the machine to find its disks, I need for it to be able to get all the
information it needs (IP address of nfs server, location of disks) off
the boot floppy.  Rumor has it that I can do this, anyone have any pointers
to info?

(The machine came with Redhat 6.1 installed, I'd just prefer not to use
that.)
