I'm at USENIX & not checking my mail often... I beleive the problem is that the code which guesses what device you're booting from needs some updating & used to guess wrong on an xp1000, meaning that it couldn't find a root device. I committed a patch (revision 1.27, 1999/05/29 ) which should fix the problem. If there is a newer snapshot, you should try a kernel from that. Alternatively, if you have a way of getting a kernel installed on your machine which was built from today's sources, that should work for you.
