Yes. generally check the recent archives, but you can, and i've done
it. You must, however, use an SBC kernel (for the differetn scsi
driver).
I think that it's sbc.16 that is compatible with the 1.2.1 release
(someone correct me if i'm wrong).
Also, ignore the zip-howto. Get mkfs1.4, and replace the first 0 in teh
suggestions it pops up with with 64.
Also, if you use the modified hd/sc (and some otheres) to format, you
must save a tiny partition at the end of the disk. Delete the mac
partition, put on a partiton you want (say, 80mb), then a swap (say,
20mb), then a 1k swap (or whatever). Mkfs1.4 misses the last partition
written by hd/sc. *do not* make this partition first; it must be the
last logical partition (physical doesn't matter).
