pivot_root: No such file or directory

[conover@rahul.net (John Conover)]

I've installed Knoppix 3.6 on an Omnibook 800CT, and on the first boot
after installation the kernel panics with a "pivot_root: No such file
or directory" message, (followed by /sbin/init: 426: cannot open
dev/console: No such file.)

The machine has very limited resources so the install had to be done
under twm:

    su
    knoppix-installer

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    John
