I've just tried[1] out the latest netinst image, and even though
silo.conf has rootfstype=ext2, I also gave it a test run with
rootfstype=ext2 explicitly entered at the silo prompt - but without any
luck.
Just for the sake of it, I even did a test run explicitly entering all
of the parameters[2] from the silo.conf, but it still did not take me
any further than:
[...]
