Comments/Problems:
I tried to boot off the CD to make a clean Debian Sarge install on a
sparcstation with an openbsd install on it.
SILO boot ok, kernel started to boot then I got the following kernel panic :
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem)
Mounted devfs on /dev
VFS: cannot open root device "" or 00:00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 00:00
I wasn't able to go any further.
