Uh, someone correct me if I'm wrong... but I thought the RaQ4
_had_ to run 2.3.x, and would be in deep desoldering doodoo if
one loaded non-2.3.x ROM.  I'd better go back and check.

How is this a problem?

Hmmmm.  Trying to mount root via NFS, then via floppy.  Lemme
read your previous post... I still suspect it's unhappy with the
CHS translations, but could be wrong.

Nope.
