Here are the steps I tried and messages I got.  I won't describe them all
because they all lead to the same problem, of being unable to satisfy the
installer's request for a scsi device driver.

1 - Started computer with CD#1 in the drive, and at the first Linux screen
    was presented with 4 choices.  I hit [F2] for options, which gave me

2 - the 2nd screen with several options;  I typed in 'linux noprobe dd' and

3 - got a blue screen with a gray message box asking 'Do you have a driver
    disc?'

4 - If I answer 'Yes', a message asks me to choose the device on which the
    driver will be found.  Regardless whether I choose 'fd0' (on which I'd
    copied the Initio scsi adapter driver) or 'hdb' (the hard disk with the
    existing RedHat 7.2 on it), a message box tells me either
    (a) 'Insert the driver disk into /dev/fd0' and press "OK" to continue'
        - and the box re-appears over and over without seeing any driver,
 or (b) after navigating on 'hdb' to /usr/arc/linux-2.4.7-10/drivers/scsi
        and picking any of the five related driver files for the Initio
        scsi adapter:   ini9100u.c      ini9100u.h      ini9100u.o
                        ini9100u.o.flags                initio.o ,
        the message said the driver 'failed to load'

4a- If I answer 'No', I get the 'Choose a Language' screen, etc., up to
    the 'Installation Method' screen.  There I choose 'From CD-ROM' and get
    the message 'No driver found' and two choices: 'Select a driver' and
    'Use a driver disk'.  In the first case no Initio adapter drivers are
    listed, and in the second it reverts to the same problem as described
    above.

When the installer asks for a driver disk, I guess I don't know what exact-
ly what it's looking for, which files.
