hi,
i followed the instructions in linux/Documentation/ramdisk.txt:
dd if=linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage of=/dev/fd0 rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/fd0 rdev -r /dev/fd0 49152
but when I boot with this disk, the kernel would say:
VFS: insert root floppy and press ENTER .... I do so VFS: mounted root [ext2fs] readonly (I'm not in front of the machine right now)
shouldnt the first message read something like "VFS: insert ramdisk floppy" ?
kernel is 2.0.10
I also tried to install lilo on the bootdisk (install=/mnt/boot/boot.b, append="prompt_ramdisk=1" or similar), but all lilo does is print either "LI" or "LIL". according to the faq, I have problems with my SCSI system, which is not true, since this particular computer doesn't have a SCSI adapter at all... and yes, this *IS* lilo.19.tar.gz which I just downloaded an hour ago.
