Thanks for all the advice, folks...
Ben Collins' disks were no good either...kept getting the same problem and
also when booting 'linux console=ttya'
I eventually bit the bullet and set up rarpd and tftpd on my e-smith box
and got it booted off there and had the installer running in
minutes...only thing now is that SILO fails at the end of the
install...but that's another story I guess...
