Did you do a full real "restart in MS-DOS mode"?
Yes. I removed a 128M dimm, leaving 64M in the box, and it worked fine
using the same procedure. (and failed again after I put the memory back.)
The exact messages include:
Now booting the kernel
Memory: sized by int13 088h
initrd extends beyond end of memory (0x040ffa21 > 0x040ff0000)
disabling initrd
:
Memory: 64636k/66556k available (424k kernel code, 384k reserved, 112k data)
:
VFS: cannot open rood device 08:01
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:01
(stop)
