Hi, everybody!

	I have a problem when install redhat 3.0.3. The CD-ROM cannot be detected.


	I using Red Hat Linux 3.0.3 - DOS Boot Installation utility v2.1	

	I have partitioned my harddisk: one for ms-dos, one for linux filesystem,
and one for linux swapfile.	

	I have select the option : None SCSI Device, None Ethernet Device,
IDE/ATAPI or SCSI CD-ROM Device

	On the next screen, I do not know choose which option, so I choose the
option 5.  the scrren is like :

	{    
	      Which device corresponds to the CD drive that you will install Linux
from ?

		1. /dev/hda = first IDE drive (rare)
		2. /dev/hdb = second IDE drive
		3. /dev/hdc = first IDE drive on secondary controller
		4. /dev/hdd = second IDE drive on secondary controller
		5. /dev/scd0 = SCSI CD-ROM drive
		6. /dev/scd1 = Second of two SCSI CD-ROMs (rare)
	}


	When I save this, and re-boot the system. It is stop at Kernel panic: VFS:
Unable to mount root fs on 0b:00

	I am using: 
	
	CPU 	  : AMD-5x86
	VGA       : CL-GD540x/542x
	RAM       : 16M
	CD-ROM : Poineer CD-ROM Device Driver Ver. 1.02, MSCDEX Ver. 2.21 - PC-AT
Compatible, ATAPI(IDE) Drive
	Network Card : NE2000
