Comments/Problems:
I needed to boot the floppy disk with: linux root=/dev/fd0 otherwise I get the following errors:
cramfs: wrong magic mount_devfs_fs(): unable to mount devfs, err: -2 .... Warning: unable to open an initial console. Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
also when asked to put in a new disk and hit <enter> I need to hit <enter> four (4) times
