I've got a quantum fireball in my system, I think there's a 2.1 version of
it.

If the CDROM is Atapi it should work.  If it doesn't you can use a utility
called UnixFS to transfer the files you need onto the drive.

You can use any kernel for the SA that starts SA110- eg SA110-4871 you
need to un gzip it first though, so you need to use sparkfs or gzip (not
sure if gzip works on SA though) 

Hope this helps
