We do include both of those drivers, as modules, and I can personally
attest to using mesh quite a bit on my Powerbook. To boot from BootX, you
will need an initrd image with the SCSI module. Check my webpage below,
and then set that up as a ramdisk in BootX.
They should also compile fine if you want to build a monolithic kernel.
what are the error messages?
