I dd'd the openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext2.img file on to hard disk
of my laptop.  The HDD is PATA.  Since there is no booting off of USB
involved,  I expected vmlinuz to find /dev/sda2 (root) and continue
the boot process.

However, no joy -- I get the dreaded "Waiting for root device
/dev/sda2..." even with the image installed on a PATA hard disk.

All suggestions/work around welcome.
