We, too, have been seeing many more problems recently with floppy support.
It's why I try to use "MTools" as much as possible... :-(

As you boot to MILO from ARC, use ARC to describe your hardware; ie select
the "Display hardware configuration" menu item. *It* will prolly be accurate
as to how much memory is actually there.

I think it *should* work; I believe MILO simply includes the "scsi.a" from
the kernel build it gets pointed at, so whatever is "in there" is "in there".
Good Luck!
