Matt,
Yeah, the /linuxrc script inside of the initrd is trying
to mount the disk, so it can read the wireless.cfg file.
But, here's the cool thing. You can pass the device name
to the /linuxrc script by adding a parameter on the kernel
command line. This is done inside the syslinux.cfg file.
Just tack "BOOTDEV=hda" to the end of the 'append' line
in syslinux.cfg. By default it is 'fd0'. Your CD may
be something else, like hdb or hdc, so set it up to suite
your needs.
The end result should be something like this:
label linux
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0 BOOTDEV=hda
That will pass hda to linuxrc, which will then mount the proper device
to read the wireless.cfg file.
Hope that helps,
Jim McQuillan
