That appears to be it. Someone compiled a bare-bones kernel for me
that managed to get past this problem. I don't think some of the
other options were the same though, because after booting, it gave
me:

  RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
  VFS: Mounted root (minix filesystem).
  VFS: Cannot open root device 03:41
  Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:41

It looks like it might be trying to mount the root on "", but how it
got that, I don't know.

Any suggestions? If possible, I'd like to keep the standard kernel
and just tell it to skip probing for SCSI devices, since I know that's
the problem now.
