Comments/Problems:
Great install but fails at the kernel install (mkinitrd)
Work around which suggests the fix was to cp -r /dev/cciss/disk0 to
/target/dev/cciss. I guess this shows the default /dev tree added
by the base installer isn't right for cciss controllers.
Grub failed to install anything useful something wierd in the compaq
BIOS methinks because it couldn't seem to find (hd0). Worked around
it by installing the lilo package and manually fixing up the configs.
