Hi John, As long as RUNNIX finds and mounts the proper drive you should (usually) be good.
Can you provide more information (context) on where it failed. If you are using a serial console feel free to privately email me the full startup log that failed. If you use a VGA console, a photo of screen when it failed would be helpful.
