Just edit the iso.
I did this instead by entering the boot command manually using each of these. They both fail with the following messages: . . . VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Freeing unused kernal memory: 192k freed Warning: unable to open an initial console. attempt to access beyond end of device 01:00: rw=0, want=8303, limit=8192 attempt to access beyond end of device 01:00: rw=0, want=8304, limit=8192 . . . attempt to access beyond end of device 01:00: rw=0, want=8310, limit=8192 Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. The cdrom-boot.iso image you pointed me to fails with the same messages for the same variations. > For "root=/dev/rd/initrd" or "root=/dev/initrd" I will have to > rebuild. -- Neil Roeth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
