  My dilemma is as follows.  I want to move my current configuration from the 
IDE class to SCSI, as the increase speed in a multiuser environment and the
ability to plug in a tape adapter and back the box up are both too good to
ignore.

  1.  Is there a system that someone has _working_ so that I can mirror the 
(reliable) SCSI configuration and live happily ever after.

  2.  If I live happily ever after and still find a complete crash ruins my
day and I want to recover from a tape backup, is there a way that I can throw
away the other HDD and boot from a floppy and _fully_ recover that which I 
have backed up to tape ?

  Any help with this matter, directions to a Howto, FAQ, or a bit of advice with
regards to a method for backing up required files, would be most appreciated.
