Summary:                    Unable to boot without a root
Description: 
>From the F1 screen, pressing enter ends up with the summary noted. It
wouldn't be so bad if the "Ok" displayed by the error would take you back
to the F1 screen. Else you have to reboot.

Dennis forgot to tell us that he uses a SCSI only system

I don't know what more I could tell you about this. Because once it gets to
that error I cannot drop to a terminal. The *only* thing I can do is
reboot.

Well I guess more info could have been included.

Get to F1 screen. Press enter. Loads linux and initrd. Press spacebar.
Goes through normal boot up. Detects the HBAs and can see the devices
hanging off them.

The right after translating keyboard I get a Lunar Linux Install/Rescue
CDROM screen and what should be the 1st menu. Instead Unable to boot
without a root. Which it says "OK". Pressing ok does nothing.
