[plug] RHL 6.0 install probs

[Daniel Pearson]

Basically what happens is, I type autoboot.bat, and then all this stuff
comes up lodaing kernel, probing display, detecting IDE1 etc... Then it
get's to the end, and says

VFS: Cannot open root device 08:21
Kernel Panic: VFS: unable to mount root FS on 08:21
