Just for interest: What doesn't work? Why doesn't it work?

On my box I've no SCSI devices besides the internal disk, thus I never
could try that. But I always thought that it should work without proble=
ms,
since the bootblocks are rather machine-independant and device-i/o is d=
one=20
by the machine's ROM routines.

Or is it just a problem of the number of the boot-device which is not
supported by current bootblocks? Do SCSI-floppy and SCSI-disk use the
same BOOTDEV number?
