I should have specified that setting root=/dev/nftla1
or pointing it to /dev/hda2 works fine. I think I'm
doing something wrong with my initrd. It's a bit
frustrating because the initrd.txt is not clear how to
set it up.
I have /dev/nftla1 which has 1 file, /initrd. This
file contains the initital ramdisk.
I'm not sure what I have to pass to the kernel, but
I've tried:
In the linux source tree Makefile:
export ROOT_DEV = /dev/nftla1
In the linuxbios Makefile:
CPUFLAGS += -DCMD_LINE='"initrd=/initrd root=/dev/ram0
init=/linuxrc rw"'
I've also tried many permutations in the linuxbios
Makefile:
root=/dev/nftla1 initrd=/initrd
initrd=/dev/initrd root=/dev/nftla1
root=/dev/ram0 init=/linurc
...and probably every permutation thereof. No luck.
Thanks for your help,
-Greg
