This would probably be much easier if you used the initrd stuff Thomas B.
recently wrote. This is not tested, but I think it may work. If it works you
may setup the initrd partition so that you have the tools you need to partition
the SCSI harddrive with a decent EFS disklabel (this partition is afterwards
appended on the end of the kernel). I think Thomas has been working on a new
redhat installer using the initrd, but I doubt he finished it.
What's the current status?
Ulf
