Bug#135138: Kernel panic in boot-floppies-2.4

["Matthew H. Ray" <matthewhray@yahoo.com>]

Package: boot-floppies
Version: disks-i386/3.0.19-2002-02-07/bf2.4

After booting from rescue floppy, at request:

VFS: Insert root floppy disk to be loaded into RAM disk and press ENTER

I hit the enter key once without changing the floppy and I get:

RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER

If I hit enter again without changing the floppy I get:

cramfs: wrong magic
request_module[nls_cp437]: Root fs not mounted
Unable to load NLS charset cp437
request_module[nls_cp437]: Root fs not mounted
Unable to load NLS charset cp437
request_module[nls_cp437]: Root fs not mounted
Unable to load NLS charset cp437
request_module[nls_cp4371]: Root fs not mounted
Unable to load NLS charset cp437
VFS: Mounted root (vfat filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 280k freed
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.

and it's locked from there.  It seems it should simply continue to
request the root floppy without locking.

Machine: Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CDS Pentium 120 with 40 megs of RAM.
