I'm using slink, and need to recompile the kernel.

This is on a computer where LILO won't install, so I have to boot off
a floppy.

Ran 'make menuconfig', and double-checked that "Second
extended fs support" was not compiled as a module.

In the Makefile, I set :
ROOT_DEV = /dev/hdb3

Ran make-kpkg kernel_image.

I then executed:
dpkg -i kernel-image-2.2.6_1.00_i386.deb
directing it to make a boot .


I get this error on restart:

VFS: Cannot open root device 03:43
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:43


I'm not exactly sure how to troubleshoot this. Any advice?
