I've vreated my own boot CD for 1.5.3 (macppc) since I wan't to install onto my RAID card (The installer kernel needs the mlx(4) driver to see the RAID card and any attached disk).

When I boot it sees the RAID card and the attached disks, but then I get the following:

  cd0 at scsibus0 target 1 lun 0: <MATSHITA, CD-ROM CR-8005A, 4.0i> SCSI2 5/cdrom r
  emovable
  md0: internal 2048K image area
  boot device: cd0
  root on md0a dumps on md0b
  no file system for md0 (dev 0x900)
  cannot mount root, error = 79

Any ideas, what I should do? Should I set the MINIROOTSIZE to something higher? How does the kernel know, what to put into the memery disk?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel
