my PS/2 model 50 (286, 20 meg esdi(??) drive, 1 meg ram)
seems to boot fine with the miniroot kernel;
which recognizes the hd (and lets me mount it!)

but the standard root kernel (with the ROOT image) 
of the 1.7.0 distribution boots, but wont recognize my HD.

Will i need to compile a new kernel with the proper drivers,
in order to use it?

will i be able to compile a kernel in 1024k? 
(or considerably less than that, since im booting
with tinyroot RAMdisk into real mode) 

or assuming i cant, can someone send me a kernel,
or point me to where i might be able to find one,
that has an HD driver that will work?
