[Soekris] Installing SuSE 10.2 on laptop for 4801

[Eric Knudstrup]

Okay, I have it so I have a kernel that will boot on the thing in console 
mode, but I'm confused about how to tell the kernel what partition the kernel 
is on.  On my laptop it uses hdc2, but neither hda2, hdb2, or hdc2 works on 
the Soekris.  What does the Soekris bios call the hd?  It panics when booting 
the kernel:

VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(22,2)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 
unknown-block(22,2)

At this point I've pulled the root=/dev/hdXX parameter out.  Any ideas?  I'm 
planning on rebuilding grub or switching to lilo (good old lilo...) after I 
get this thing up.
