debian sarge disks

[Alex Snow]

I tried a few different combinations and the same thing. it cant 
access the root device which is I think /dev/rd/0. it also needs an 
initrd which is contained on the floppy in initrd.gz. Speakup kind of 
shits itself when the kernel panics so I don't know wtf is the exact 
error message but it's something about unable to access root device or 
something.
