Hi

haven not broken through this "wall" for eighteen hours now. nothingI can think of makes any difference


I'm using BootX to open install hd-media on a "Wallstreet" Powerbook.


Continually, during boot, it stops at:

 "cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(8,1)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)"

Someone know what I need to do in BootX, or placement of hd-media files?

Thanks

R Charles Flickinger
