Basically it couldn't mount device 8.0

Yup, I posted too soon - after that I went to the SGI website and followed 
their directions for making a ram disk.  I didn't realize you could 
specifiy a kernel to run it against as I'd never done that.

It boots now.  uname -a shows the SMP but it still shows as an i686:

Linux strider 2.4.18-SGI_XFS_1.1smp #1 SMP Wed Apr 17 11:03:31 CDT 2002 
i686 unknown

Is this normal for an SMP Athlon?  I double checked and I have the correct 
RPM - the athlon SMP one.

LILO is nice!  I ran the -t option with -v and it told me exactly what I'd 
messed up on a line.
