SCSI boot problems
Problems found during the
boot(HW)
phase of the installation might
require certain SCSI drivers to be disabled. To disable a driver
at boot time, add disable=driver_name to the
bootstring(HW).
For example, the following command
at the boot prompt restarts the installation and
disables the alad SCSI host adapter driver:
restart disable=alad
Disable the driver that corresponds to the init( ) function shown in the following table; init()functions are displayed in the boot hardware listing:
