Subject: install linux

Got a weird one.  I have a pc which I'm trying to install Linux on.  The
deal is that it has an atapi ide cdrom but scsi only hard drives.  If I
use the bare.i only the cdrom is seen where as if I use the bbare.s only
the hard drives are seen.  I have compiled a kernel for another box that
is similar which has support for both the ide cdrom and the scsi host
controler.  My question is whether there is a way that I'm obviously
overlooking to install slackware on this box or can I use something like
rawrite and write the compiled kernel I have onto a floppy?  If I do that
do I justtake the kernel file itsefl and just rawrite it to the floppy or
do I have do do something specific?

Thanks.
