What errors do you get if you have root=/dev/md0? > As an aside, the manual partitioning goes okay, but can be somewhat > confusing: > > - any configured RAID systems do not show up until you say "configure > software raid" and then "finished" > > - a legend indicating what the symbols (various smilie faces) mean > would be useful See the help page from the main partitioning menu.
