DOC 2000 Boot Problem

[Chris Robson]

Can you give me an example of what that command line is.  I have a
root=/dev/nftla1 line in my lilo config file, is there something else I
need to do?

The kernel wants to mount root filesystem from /dev/hda1 rather
then /dev/nftla1. You have to issue kernel command line for
your lilo.
