- An alternative is to apply adb to sr_conf.o (or directly to /vmunix)
- and change a same-length vendor name that you don't use to the one
- that you do use. In this case, the name Hitachi can be overlaid
- with Toshiba (in two places, one is all upper case) and all should
- be well (assuming you don't also have an Hitachi CD-ROM on the same
- machine :-). You could also patch Unrecongized while you're at it,
- though there's probably no point in doing so.
