Any ideas?
This is relatively good news. Does it load initrd.gz sometime before the VFS problem occurs? If so, you might try passing 'root=/dev/rd/0', 'devfs=mount' (should no longer be necessary), in any combination, I suppose one of them might work. The whole problem might be better talked out on IRC: irc.freenode.net, #debian-boot, you're welcome to join. I'm anxious to get Sparc CDs working and this seems like it could be a simple problem to fix. Thanks -- Joshua Kwan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
