Hello,

After running some benchmarks I decided to move my Linux partitons around.
Since I knew the new lilo can boot from partitons over the 1024 cylinder
barrier I was happy to know that I could do this exactly the way I wanted.

Previously my setup was simple. The layout was like this:

HDA1 = Windows
HDB1 = /boot
HDB5 = /
HDB6=Swap
HDB7  = /home

I changed it as follows:

HDA1=Windows
HDA5=/boot
HDA6=/
HDA7=Swap
HDB1=/home

I changed my fstab and lilo.conf, and got everything working fine. I'm now in
Linux and everything seems to be running smooth (and faster - yay!).

But I did encounter an issue. When I tried to boot the first couple of times,
the kernel would load and then I would get the error message "Kernel Panic. No
init found. Try passing init= option to kernel". I tried doing what it
suggested but it didn't work. I was able to get around it by passing the
kernel parameter "root=/dev/hda6", thus I am back in action.

My question is, what file normally looks after where the init scripts are
located? I would be interested in knowing where this move went wrong so that I
know ahead of time what to expect.  Thanks!

-Chris
