These are the messages if I try to boot my fresh installed system. And
yes, sda2 is the correct partition.
[...]
Booting GENERIC on Alcor variation Bret using machine vector XLT from MILO
Command line: bootdevice=sda2 bootfile=vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2
[...]
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or 08:02
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:02
Also I can see wrong sizes of the partitions if I use df or fdisk. This
effect touches all harddisks. They are all using the sym53c810
controller, but the cdrom at the same controller shows correct values.
