Dear sir or lady,
 I have a big problem to install the unfriendly slackware. After I tried to use bare or icde 
and rawrite a boot disk and used it to boot, it has the following stupid problems:
1. It asked me to insert an RAM disk floppy disk. What the "HXXL" is that? And I just type return 
then it give me a message: "corrupt" whatever.
2. It finally stop booting and  give me a very uncomfortable message: 
Kernal panic: VFS:unable to mount root fs on 21:00

Oh, my world!! I tried the other boot files like idecd and else something , they all give me the 
same error message and the pc is stop right there. I was really frustrated. Anyone who can help will 
be highly appreciated!!

Richard
