I downloaded the mardrake image file and made the boot.img floppy . Each
time I try to boot I get an error saying "crc errorVFS: Cannot open root
device 08:22  - Kernal panic:VFS Unable to mount root fs on 08:22.
I downloaded the image again!!!! and got the exact same results.
I tried booting from the CDs and again got a boot failure.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Tnhanks a lot.
