USB Memory Key booting

[Gregg C Levine]

Hello (again) from Gregg C Levine
Actually gentlemen, and ladies, no it is not. I have available for
this system a USB Key Drive, from Memorex, and a CF reader, also from
them. To use them under Linux, I need to turn on SCSI, and USB-Mass
drive support. Also, the mass drive functions look more like SCSI to
me, then anything like IDE. Granted this is one example. 

I grok, that there are others out there who do use IDE, but I doubted.
There are mistakes in the mass transport layers for Linux, certainly.
But nothing that gross. Incidentally that's the 2.4.20 group, and I am
using Slackware Linux here.
