Hey all.

I have these big fatty Dell blade servers, and the only way I've found
to install Gentoo on them is to use a USB CD-ROM drive, but when booting
from the CD-ROM, I get:

Determining root device...
The root block device is unspecified or not detected.
Please specify a device to boot, or "shell" for a shell...
boot() ::

I've followed some instructions per:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Dell_Latitude_X1#Booting_the_Gentoo_LiveCD

... but alas, my drive *is* detected as sr0, and I've followed the rest
of the instructions to the tee, even where you mknod, and then the CD
fails with a kernel panic.

Any [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks!

-Jeff
