Speaking of the append statement. I've run into [problems when the total
number of characters and spaces number in excess of 42. After the 42nd
character the remainder of the line is ignored.
Example: append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi ide2=0xd400,0xd802,18
ide3=0xe000,0xe402,18"
Anything after ,0xe402, is cut off and ignored, and the ide2 and ide3 are
not loaded.
And yes placing the "," after a major item will cause the append statement to
ignore anything after, at least it did to me....
