I was able to do some googling to find out how to bring up the LILO
prompt (it was just automatically booting before) and I tried using
"linux root=/dev/sda1". Unfortunately, it still panicked. During
installation it was seeing the partitions as SCSI (/dev/sd*). Anyone
out there successfully put KnoppMyth on SATA?
