Comments/Problems:
After booting from the sarge BusinessCard CD from 21/03/2004, I had
this message on the console:
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
If you need more information or testing, I would be glad to help.
Thanks

I had a discussion with Nicolas Boullis (nboullis@debian.org, z80a on
IRC), who owns an identical machine, and who tested a recent version
of sid_d-i.
His install was successful, so I'm closing this bug.
