Well, I simply have a copy of milo and linload.exe
(those files from the potato CD, of course) on a small
FAT partition somewhere on a HD. That's where I point
ARC to. I prefer to do further experiments from then
on via the Milo prompt (not having switched to SRM).

So for me: boot disk = root disk   --- floppy-wise

And yes, I did try to boot the kernel image directly
from CD in this environment. But with no luck so far.
Fails with that "No init found" kernel panic.
Could be (in this respect) a faulty CD on my side,
but I'm not sure about this.
