Hi,
i am trying to automatically install a small distribution via
network and continue booting via the umsdos pseudo root.

If i do this with an full ext2 partition this works fine but on umsdos
i get (hand written)

--schnipp-----------
UMSDOS Beta 0.6 (compatibility level 0.4, fast msdos)
VFS: Mounted root (umsdos filesystem) readonly.
Trying to unmount old root ... <3>error -16
Change root to /initrd: error -2
Unable to open initial console

------schnapp-------

This is all Kernel 2.0.35 - id like to try 2.0.36pre but currently i cant
find the pre patches .. (*linux.org unresolvable)

It seems to me that this is an umsdos/initrd bug but maybe someone else
knows more ...

Flo
