I believe that the problem is as thus, (unless this is CD specific of which I have no recent experience): Server boots kernel command line want's a path to the root slice/partition. e.g. kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=/dev/hd0s1 module /boot/serverboot.gz I can't confirm whether the default that comes with grub works. kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=hd0s1 module /boot/serverboot.gz The complete command line version wants a root=device:hd0s1 kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd0s1 But you also have to be sure to include the complete commandline. If you are reading it off of the web you may find that there are erroneous line breaks which are not escaped with \'s.
