Lowmem install on IIsi

Hi!
I've been trying to install the base system on my IIsi. I run into the
following problem after the partition check:
----------------------------
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounting root (minix filesystem).
mounting /proc ...
done.
You do not have enough RAM, hence you must boot using the Boot Disk for Low
Memory systems.
Read the instructions in the install.html file.
----------------------------
I looked for this "Boot Disk for Low Memory systems", but I couldn't find
it anywhere. Finally I checked the Amiga tree and found a file called
lowmemrd.bin. I tried to use this as my Ramdisk in Penguin but it seems to
hang after:
----------------------------
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounting root (minix filesystem).
----------------------------
I still have a blinking cursor and can hit return to get a new line. I
waited quite a while. Do I need to wait longer?
Both an ethernet card with FPU and a 17 MB RAM upgrade are on their way,
but I am somewhat impatient and would like to start playing now.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Matt
