Re: boot disk question/suggestion

Hi Robert,

I just wanted to thank you for your suggestion.  It seems to be working!
I am having problems getting the boot procedure find the root filesystem
but at least I got this far!  Any suggestions about the kernel being
unable to find the root filesystem?

Thanks,
