Yup. I just figured this out. I used the instructions in the
installtion caveats to mount up / and /boot (by creating sda1 and sda5
block devs with major #8) and do a mkinitrd.
I am now able to boot my machine, but I can't access my CDROM because
there are no 'sdc' devices. Is this fixed by using the 'modules.devfs'
file?
Thanks,
Ken
