23199767f8SToomas Soome	When booting from a SCSI disk on a system with one or more IDE disks,
24199767f8SToomas Soome	and where the IDE disks are the default boot device, it is necessary
25199767f8SToomas Soome	to tell the kernel how many IDE disks there are in order to have it
26199767f8SToomas Soome	correctly locate the SCSI disk you are booting from.

35199767f8SToomas Soome	gaps in the sequence (eg. no primary slave), the unit number can be
