Hello,

  I'm using Linux BIOS with etherboot-filo.  I have a usb stick has a 
kernel and a usb aware initrd on it.  The problem I am having is when
I use etherboot-filo to boot off of uba1:/boot/vmlinuz
initrd=/boot/initrd root=/dev/sda1
console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200.  
I get this:

Ultimately I get this invalid image:

I've also placed an elf image of the kernel & intird, but it too failed,
but it seemed to fail in not even seeing the initrd bundled in the elf.
This same elf works fine in etherboot.  Any sugestions?

Thanks,
Dave
