20:56 <@g2boojum> LiveWire: I used a genkernel on one of my all-scsi machines
                  earlier in the week, and I had to compile scsi in statically
                  to get it to boot.  Is that what I should have expected?
20:57 <@LiveWire> g2boojum: did you try appending doscsi to kernel cmdline?
20:57 <@LiveWire> its just like the livecd
20:58 <@g2boojum> LiveWire: *Doh*


Reproducible: Always
