Comments/Problems:

When booting and pressing enter at the SILO promt (booting default)
I get the following error:

Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
   Press L1-A to return to the boot prom

when I enter  "linux root=/dev/fd0" at the SILO prompt
booting gets further

at a given moment i get:

VFS: Insert root floppy disk to be loaded into RAM disk and press ENTER
the floppy is ejected, but when I press ENTER nothing happens.
