Initrd is supplied by Debian, but it is broken, but I can't use an
initrd, but must use an initramfs?!   I've tried downloading initrd's
from several different ftp sites with same result.  Also, I started
out with the default parmfile and no go.  In fact, anything I put into
parmfile gives same result.  Where can I get a proper initramfs?  Or,
how can I get this booted?
