The Write Channel must be the Read Channel address plus 1,
The Data Channel must be the Read Channel address plus 2.

I have a simple parmfile, (the default from the install CD's) that when
punched with the same kernel and initrd causes a manual installation to
work fine.
ramdisk_size=65536 root=/dev/ram1 ro init=/linuxrc TERM=dumb
So what if anything, do people suggest I do?
