RH7.2 install weirdness

Thanks for the offer, but I won't be able to make it to the meeting. I was able
to make some progress by attaching an unused external SCSI drive to one of the
Adaptec cards. I set up the partitions on the external drive how I'm gonna want
the array setup. I'm hoping that I can then just dd one partition to another
after building a working kernel with the Mylex controller builtin.
