I have used udpcast to clone ide boxes. But I cannot get it to recognize the scsi drives (raid 5) on a couple servers. It looks like the scsi modules are there but are not being loaded at the cd boot. How can I clone /dev/sda on these servers?
Thanks, Randy

Actually, the menu system does not yet support loading of the scsi modules. However, if you have these modules present on your image, you can load them manually, as follows:
1. Press Control-Alt-F2 , and then RETURN to get a shell prompt. 2. Load the needed module: modprobe aic7xxx 3. Press Control-Alt-F1 to get back to the menu system. 4. When asked to chose a disk, chose OTHER 5. Enter the disc's name. As the udpcast bootdisk uses devfs, you need to enter the "long" name, such as: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/disc for the whole disc, or /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part6 for just one partition
