Comments/Problems:
When booting and pressing enter at the SILO promt (booting default) I get the following error:
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. Press L1-A to return to the boot prom
when I enter "linux root=/dev/fd0" at the SILO prompt booting gets further
at a given moment i get:
VFS: Insert root floppy disk to be loaded into RAM disk and press ENTER the floppy is ejected, but when I press ENTER nothing happens.
