This question had been posted a week ago, but seems to have disappeared
along the way.  Since I'm still looking for the answer, I'm reposting.

I now know how to create a new initrd.img after modifying its pcitable
file to include the Initio scsi controller (which runs my scsi CD drive).
But I don't have a CD burner, so I can't just replace the original
initrd.img with the modified one.  The new initrd.img resides at present
in the /tmp directory of the computer hard drive's linux partition.

During the first part of the install of SL 4.2, how does one tell the pro-
cess to look for the new initrd.img not on the install CD, but at a loca-
tion on the hard drive?  Do I need to place a copy of vmlinuz there as
well?

Thanks.
