Comments/Problems:
1. The default boot from CD crashes with:
cramfs: wrong magic
sh-2021 reiserfs_read_super: cannot find reiserfs on ramdisk(1,0)
kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
2. When booting with rootfstype=ext2:
Got the "choosing a language" dialog, chose the default (US). After that my keyboard
(which is a Sun keyboard, not a PC one) no longer worked. The process failed on
detecting the CD-ROM drive, and I was unable to answer questions because of
the keyboard.
3. When booting "linux rescue", it does not fail on reiserfs, but still fails
after choosing a language.
Boris.
