Right now the only way I can get the machien to boot *and* be able to
login is with
SILO boot: linux root=/dev/hda1 rw
Without the "root" it trys to boot /dev/03:06 and without the rw it
never gets / to mount read/write and you can't login since login can't
chown /dev/tty*
Throughout all of this it's still booting from the magical mystery
kernel. I have no idea where it's located.
