- That's interesting. I get exactly the same, despite getting it all
- installed correctly etc. I have to enter root=/dev/hda3 at the extra
- parameter prompt when starting Linux to avoid it.

- I have almost completed writing my "Installing ARMLinux for Dummies"
- instructions, which I will put on my web page for people to Beta-read and
- give feedback. It will take you right from getting hold of the Clan CD,
- right through the installation process to running Linux for the first time.
- Hopefully, this may help total beginners to be a bit more confident at
- installing Linux for the first time.
