Wow.. see second last line.. your msdos filesystem is getting mounted as the
root filesystem.
what do you use to load linux. LILO? Loadlin ? Floppy disk?
If you use loadlin , help is here. In your batch file you have to specify
your root partition as "root=/dev/hda*" where * ofcourse has to be replaced
by the appropriate number. Even if you use LILO the same has to be done ,
how you will access your lilo.conf is a question someone else will have to
answer. Try using "linux root=/dev/hda*" at the LILO prompt.No ideas about
boot diskettes.
