The PATA cdrom is connected to the Jmicron controller. It seems like all the disks are detected (including the PATA cdrom drive), as the kernel spits out something along the lines of: ad4: 305245 MB at ata2-master SATA300 acd0: DVDR at ata3-master UDMA33 Just after these two lines of output are printed, I get presented with the mountroot> prompt asking me to manually specify the root filesystem. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
