Answering some of my question .. I tried bootdisk.img off FC1 CD1, and I got the following boot messages with my Sony DVD DRX-500ULX attached via USB: hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-1, assigned address 2 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x54c/0xee) is not claimed by any active driver. crc error<6>Freeing initrd memory: 533k freed VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 48:03 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 48:03 Does this mean I may be out of luck? I looked for a bootdisk named "usbdrive.img" on FC1 CD1, but don't see anything like it, just the PCMCIA bootdisk which I don't think is applicable to a USB DVD drive?
