Well. It nearly works. It stops when it would start mounting my discs.
If I try single user mode it will stop when I hit enter after being
asked the single user question (forgot what it is now).
Does it take long to compile kernels on an ARM7? I've kinda shyed away
from the idea simple because of how long it would take.
I'm a bit lost now. Is there a way of preloading the ramdisk-14.fs -
or actually using it? Doesn't seem to be mentioned in the docs I've
looked at.
BFN, John
