Using expert mode I can boot from CD (via floppy due to old bios) and tell kernel at "boot:" to load scsi driver aic7xxx.o. This works fine. However, I want to just throw away the floppy/CD and boot directly from HD using frugal (I think).

How can I add this module to my HD configuration so it loads automatically with no CD or floppy inserted?

I think aic7xxx.o needs to be listed in /etc/modules and then the file itself needs to be put somewhere but don't know where. Then this needs to be saved using the mydsl method, I think.

You need to make a custom minirt24.gz image file.

This file needs to have the aic7xxx.o file in the scsi modules directory.

See this post on how to make a customized minirt24.gz file:
