Old notebook w/o cdrom or floppy. How to install?

[Rob]

OK, I made some progress with my old notebook.

Over PXE, I use this 'default' pxe config file:
----------------------------------
DEFAULT install
PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 0
LABEL install
        kernel vmlinuz
        append initrd.img
----------------------------------
 
with vmlinuz and initrd.img in the tftpboot directory (I've downloaded both
files from the Fedora download site in os/images/pxeboot/ directory).
This should start the installation procedure.

The notebook boots over the network and I get the 'boot:' prompt, but
when hitting return there, I eventually end with:

   EXT2-fs: unable to read superblock

and a kernel panic.

Any idea what this means or how to fix this?

Thanks,
Rob.
