I'm installing 1.4rc1, it's a stage one install.=20
Upon reboot, startup stops with:

             "INIT: version 2.84 booting

               * The "mount" command failed with error:

I told it to continue with a normal boot, it rebooted.

Now when it reboots I see the message:
=20
              "Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init=3D option =
to kernel."

Any obvious, or not so obvious, helpful hints?

Thanks.
