Eureka! This works great for me as well, I still get this message tho, not
sure of the severity:
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
INIT: version 2.76 booting
Loading /etc/kbd/default.map.gz
>>>Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
Adding Swap: 98580k swap-space (priority -1)
Checking root file system...
Parallelizing fsck version 1.12 (9-Jul-98)
It isn't affecting anything, so I'm not really concerned.
