Comments/Problems:
The system can boot from CD but when I go ahead with "Install" at the
initial screen, kernel panics. The message I get is:
[ 0.596893] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs
on unknown-block(8,3)
(I also tried Alpha 1 CD, but I cannot use it because of the USB
keyboard problem.)
