10	Make sure to build scsi disk support into your kernel (=y, not =m).
11	Grub setup should be fairly easy, just make a device.map that has:
12
13	(hd0) /dev/sda
14
15	and follow the normal grub setup instructions. If you need help here, just ask.
16
17	The other thing I would suggest for your kernel is build USB and
18	IEEE1394 support as modules. This will prevent any USB/firewire hard
19	drives from confusing the sdX sequencing of the kernel and udev, at
20	least for your SATA drives.
