GOt it, and it boots to a MILO prompt. Yea!!  Of course, nothing can ever be
easy, so on to the next issue:

    I load boot the kernel from the debian rescue floppy, and it boot great,
but when it asks for the root disk, and I give the disk I created from
boot.bin, using rawrite2, it pukes.  htis has happend using 3 different
disks, made from different D/L's of root.bin.   What moron mistake am I
making now?

Thanks,
