Hi, Dp:
It is possible to format HD floppies to 1.68 Megabytes;
superformat /dev/fd0u1680
My Slackware v10.1 floppy bootdisk is type 'umsdos'.
It seems to me that you might be able to squeeze the
necessary items onto a HD floppy formatted to 1.68 Megabytes.
From this boot floppy, perhaps, you could mount your
root filesystem on your LSI Logic MegaRaid 320-1SCSI controller.
You could install a supported (IDE/SCSI) controller card and
drive(s) and install to them, then mount the new controller's drives
after you obtain kernel support.
HTH, Chuck
