I just tried using version 0.10 of "bootimage" to run version 0.11
of "rootimage". The system comes up fine. I can access the harddisk ok,
for example by running "cp /dev/hd0 /dev/null".

But when running "fdisk", I get:

/dev/hd1: ..stuff about partition 1...
/dev/hd2: ..stuff about partition 2...
/dev/hd3: ..stuff about partition 3...
harddisk I/O error
dev 0305 block 0

and the program terminates. Now device 0305 is /dev/hd5 (ie. 2nd harddisk),
but I don't have a 2nd harddisk. Does linux for some reason expect TWO
harddisks? Is this the reason I'm unable to boot version 0.11 of the
kernel (as described in my previous message)?
