OK, the new laptop is here and I'm trying to install Debian on it
by booting from a DOS boot disk, then running loadlin from my WinME
partition.  Unfortunately it kernel panics because it can't mount
the root FS.

I'm using the standard boot disks from the "testing" distribution
and the command:

loadlin linux root=/dev/ram initrd=root.bin disksize=1.44

(should be install.bat with the directories changed...)

Any suggestions?  (and yes, I've spent some time with my good
friend Google searching for an answer... ;) )
