I don't have a /boot, where can I get it?  Or do I just copy
/usr/mdec/sdboot to /boot? I have tried that, and I tried b/1 dka200 but
it still doesn't work.. it spits up an error message and clears the screen
so I don't get to see it. (I think its the same can't find boot file
error)

What else can I do?  Is there anyone else who can boot root off a scsi
disk?  Is there a compiled kernel with even experimental/hack support for
the VS3100 graphic console? :)
