Thanks all, it's working now.


I still have one question:  if the initial RamDisk image is on a SCSI disk,
and if the SCSI drivers are in the initial ramdisk, how does it get loaded
in the first place?  I assume it's some sort of lilo trick, since adding
initrd=/foo.img to the boot parameters doesn't work but adding
initrd=/foo.img to lilo.conf and running lilo does.  Does lilo copy the
initial ramdisk to the bootsector or some such?
