i did try something like this earlier, but i think i ended up w/ something
like:

  "unable to open initial console"

after the root filesystem was mounted read-only.

i'll give this a try again -- what i did before was to take the zimage
that i compiled and replace it w/ the kernel image on an existing rescue
disk.  is there anything else i should do besides replace the kernel?

btw, does anyone know how to report these bugs?  is boot-floppies the
appropriate package to report this under in the bug tracking system?

thanks for your attention.
