Emergency boot floppy - second hard disk not seen

OS = Openserver 5.0.5

Ran 'mkdev fd' and made emergency boot floppy (boot and root). Choose custom kernel, not generic.

However kernel on the 1.44 floppy did not see both hard disks, it only saw the first one (SCSI id 0), and not SCSI id 1 (second disk)

Q. Is this a limitation of emergency boot floppy or can something be done so both hard disks are seen when booting from floppy.
