Sorry but I should have mentioned that I've read all the documentation and the
character limitation is not stated or I missed that part. I have previously tried
the line warp procedure but it still chops off and will not execute the remainder
of the append statement. I can however type the idea and idea statement at the
lilo prompt and then it will be accepted and also the append statement will be
correct as to the ide-scsi items. This way everything will load fine, but not if I
place it all into the lilo append. Seems like it worked for me some time back but
this may just be wishfully thinking
Thank You
