that's right. i suppose it only gets the controller recognized, but not
the scsi disk, which is a maxtor lxt-200s with approximately 190 mb
disk-space and sits on the scsi id 0. nevertheless the floppy is
recognized which could be used as a boot device to then start formatting
(when the disk would be recognized...) and ftping the rest of the system.
