ON a 486 WRAP box, using the initrd.lrp from the 486 iso the system boots up until it stops with this. [ 2.953360] Freeing unused kernel memory: 236k freed LINUXRC: Bering - Initrd - 4.0.0 Rev 9 uClibc 0.9.30.3 LINUXRC: Parsing kernel command line... LINUXRC: Loading modules... [ 8.298858] SCSI subsystem initialized LINUXRC: Root: /dev/ram0 LINUXRC: Looking for leaf.cfg... LINUXRC: Generating default dirs... LINUXRC: Generating /tmp & /var/log partitions ...

LINUXRC: Loaded Packages can't run '/etc/init.d/rcS': No such file or directory Please press Enter to activate this console. indeed at this stage /etc/init.d only has ntpd in it. Early in the boot process the system read the Kernel command line: reboot = bios console=ttsS0,19200n8 VERBOSE=1 Boot_IMAGE=/sys.inux/linux initrd=/initrd.lrp rw root=/dev/ram0 LEAFCFG=/dev/sda1:vfat echo $PKGPATH echo $LRP are indeed both empty not sure what I am doing wrong.
