right. there is an option for loadlin which forces the root filesystem to
be mounted
on a particular device. the specification is root=xxx where xxx = hex
number.
within the documents there is an e.g. xxx = /dev/mmmn (/dev/hda2) where
mmm=hex number for (fd, hda, hdb, sda, sdb...) and n = decimal. my
dilemma is the same as yours,
i know the standard hex system, but how do you adobt it for letters
higher than h?
