Make sure you get a recent enough BootX and click "use ramdisk", and select the ramdisk.image.gz (or initrd.gz, whatever it's called). With recent kernels/initrd's, you may also have to explicitely add "root=/dev/ram0" on your kernel command line. Ben. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
