Well I got as far as booting with the ram disk.
I found the Kernal Panic was due to the fact that I choose /dev/sda....
instead of my secondard ide device (6GB HD, with a 64MB partition (SWP)
and 1.4GB partition (LNX) ).
I then choose /dev/ram and it booted fine. I didn't or couldn't disable
my SCSI devics by pressing 's' at boottime for some reason though.
Now I'm stuck at how to install Red Hat Linux, I did it ages ago
but that didn't work.
Hmm, maybe some more downloads are in order.
