   not supported by a Distribution. For newer kernels this driver overrides
   the Open Source Driver.

2. CREATE FLOPPY

   dd if=[distribution]_sii6514.img of=/dev/fd0  (In a Linux System)
      where distribution is redhat or suse_united 
      See Full Install if you want to use WINDOWS to create
          the floppy
      
   => Configure RAID SET using the controller BIOS if you want RAID functionality

     . CTL-ALT before Installation Begin 

     . INSERT FLOPPY DISKETTE

     . Follow the rest of the instructions
       * See Full Instructions if formatting fails

4. GENERAL INFO
