DOC2000 Boot de-ja-vue - add...

[Veikko Werner]

Hhm...
that's what I red also somewhere on the internet.
but when I boot from HD and mount /dev/nftla1 I have /sbin/init and /bin/sh
-> bash
in /etc/fstab I have a line "/dev/nftla1 / ext2 defaults 1 1"
in lilo.conf : root=/dev/nftla1

conclusion: 
MTD and NFTL load successfully
kernels says "root mounted" so I should must have the files I have when I
mount it from HD
but that seems to be not right
maybe access to the DOC is to slow? Can I pass some arguments for slowing
down ?
