Yep, it’s me on Fedora. yeah baby yeah! That means my previous effort to boot my FC3 from usbdisk has finally succeded.

I guess it was I put wrong root parameter in the kernel option. I put root=/dev/hda7 instead of a more convenient root=LABEL=/ :). I read my grub.conf, if you’re curious why am I become that smart. I did copycat :p

And the location on init was should be in /sbin/, thus init=/sbin/init. Since I was using dsl.iso, original init was set to /etc/init. This is Debian default I guess.

I found this article worth while to read. Might clear som confusion about grub’s root and kernel option’s root.

Grub’s root (in grub.conf with root(hdx,x)) is the partition contains /boot/grub/stage1, whilst kernel option’s root is the actual root of your system a.k.a the “/” (slash, without dot). And of course, you don’t want to miss the official manual :).
