Then put that on a disk so that you can use it at the beginning of the
install when you have to hit F6 to install third party scsi drivers.

Ok, take the winME disk outside and pour gasoline on it, then light it from
a safe distance, once it's been safely destroyed and can no longer
contaminate your system we can start doing something useful. Do this:
insert win98 boot disk with smartdrv file
fdisk delete and create partitions then reboot
format c: /u and reboot
md cab
insert win2k cd
cd cab
a:\smartdrv.exe
remove floppy
copy e:\i386\*.*
remove win2k cd
setup.exe
follow directions, making sure to put in scsi driver when prompted at bottom
of screen.
ENJOY!!

It does, but it's at the bottom of the screen and you have to hit F6

You're on the right track, just make sure to install the drivers early on
when prompted at the bottom.
