I'm trying to boot from the Debian rescue disk to install linux for the
first time.  I have an adaptec AIC-7890 scsi card, so I was typing

linux aix7xxx

to boot.
After the kernel loads, I get the following after the scsi driver loads:

sda: sda1, sda2
sdb: sdb1
[MS-DOS FS Rel. ...
[me=0x0, ...
Transactions block size = 512
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00


Any ideas?  I tried using three different floppies now, and each give the
same result.
