Oops!  I would have expected the wrong kernel image to cause a kernel panic
rather than to load then fail later on -- but obviously I don't know what
I'm doing in the kernel department.  I hope this is the only thing wrong.

Once I manage to boot from the CD with the correct kernel, is this the
correct procedure for fixing my problem?

1. change the /vmlinuz and /initrd symlinks to point to the i386 
   kernel images
2. check lilo.conf and run /sbin/lilo
3. pray|chant|sacrifice and reboot
4. stop messing with these things on my important workstation (that's 
   what the spare computer is for)

Thanks,
Adam
