Hi,
Can you try the following:
Put the kernel on a floppy by doing "dd if=kernelfile of=/dev/fd0"
(replace "kernelfile" by the bzImage file) and then do a
"rdev /dev/fd0 BOOTDEVICE", where BOOTDEVICE is replaced by your root
partition (eg /dev/sda1, /dev/hda1 or whatever). Then try to boot from this
floppy.
This is effectively a bootfloppy similar to debian's one so it rules out
any HDD related issues.
Greetings,
Arjan van de Ven
