If the miBoot kernel could have a driver for Adaptec AHA2930B, it would be great. I currently use miBoot on my PowerCenter Pro 240 to boot in the disk that is on the AHA2930B solely because the 2930B can't be booted from OpenFirmware (due to lack of firmware) [1]. Not providing kernel that support this card is lack screwing everything up (the one I use comes from Woody and had it). If only I could finally build a kernel that can boot with miBoot, I'd not have the problem. Hub [1] I don't consider BootX as an option. MacOS 8/9 will someday be completely wipped out from this machine as I no longer use it nor intend to.
