[ale] Failure in creating custom boot/root rescue floppies.........

[Courtney Thomas]

Greetings !

I need to create a custom boot/root floppy set because I need to load an 
unsupported driver [under RedHat6.1 {2.2.12-20} which for reasons 
irrelevant to this problem I must continue using].

I've got the boot floppy satisfactorily loading said driver. But.....

my problem is that "init" dynamically depends on a couple of shared 
objects that are 4.5MB in total size. So when I insert the root floppy, 
as requested by the boot floppy, I get the error message "Kernel Panic: 
No init found. Try passing init= to kernel."

Init is on the boot floppy but not the shared objects, of course, as 
explained above.

How can this be properly handled given the constraints, for gzip is not 
going to surmount this ? Is there a static init that is used for this 
and if so, where is it please ?

Appreciatively,
Courtney
