"boot dka400 -fl 0" should be sufficient. In fact, even though you've duplicated the exact argument set used by d-i, -fl 0 is preferred because some versions of SRM have a limit on the length of the flag string. This may be the problem here, since 08:02 is not the correct inode for a ramdisk. > Then I got this error: > VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 08:02 > Please append correct "root=" boot option > Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:02 -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
