Blurgh.. I remember something like that happening to me... What I did
was remove the floppy, then hit enter and it'll say "disk change
detected blah blah blah" but when it prompts again, it'll be asking
for the root disk instead of the ram disk, then chuck in the root
disk, hit enter and you're away. Dunno what that RAM disk thing theer
is tho.. just be sure to REMOVE the bootdisk BEFORE hitting enter and
everything else should work fine..
