Sorry... an addendum to my posting: it was pointed out to me that I
could try editing the rdev.sh script to set the root device of zImage
in the floppy to /dev/ram (instead of keeping /dev/ram0 and creating
ram0). Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to solve the problem; I get
the same behaviour and error messages etc.
Many thanks and apologies for not reporting this in my previous
message.
