Comments/Problems:

I needed to boot the floppy disk with:
linux root=/dev/fd0
otherwise I get the following errors:

cramfs: wrong magic
mount_devfs_fs(): unable to mount devfs, err: -2
....
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

also when asked to put in a new disk and hit <enter>
I need to hit <enter> four (4) times
