I would expect that, it's not an optional parameter.

 second, if I do that, I get corrupted video.
 
Don't know there. All you're doing is asking the root filesystem to be on
a ramdisk.  Not sure how that would effect the video.

 Third, if I put install-text before or after the root command, the installer won't 
 work properly (it complains about the FS being read only)
 

Just text - not intall-text

 Any ideas ?

Install parameters

Stew,

RC1, trying to do an FTP install. 
PowerComputing Powercentre 120, 112MB RAM, 2GB HD, onboard net.

First, I can't even get the installer to work 
properly unless I specify root=/dev/ram3

second, if I do that, I get corrupted 
video.

Third, if I put install-text before or after the 
root command, the installer won't work properly (it complains about the FS being 
read only)

Any ideas ?
