hi,
I wanted to make a boot disk, prior to experimenting with the compiling of kernels.
I ran mkboot /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-k7, and the disk was created.
I rebooted and the floppy started to boot up, until it hit a kernel panic. The error
message was;
Root fs not mounted
VPS: Cannot open root device "303" or 03:03
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on 03:03
Fair enough I thought. I went to the lilo.conf that was on the floppy disk to add
"root = /dev/hda3" to the file, only to find it was already there!
So I don't know why the mkboot is giving me a floppy boot disk that fails. Can I have
some guidance here?
