I have been trying to find the information by searching through the 
archives and google, so I am sorry if this question has been asked 
before I just have not been able to find an answer.
I have a syslinux boot floppy which loads to the boot prompt, I wish to 
load a .gz image which is on my hd0 0 by using memdisk as the kernel. I 
have tried to kernel memdisk append root=/dev/hd0  0 (also just using 
/hd0) initrd=mini.gz and   kernel memdisk initrd=/dev/hd0 0/mini.gz and 
a multitude of other things to try to accomplish this. But each time it 
responds "mini.gz cannot be found.
hd0 0 loads fine using chain.c32 from the floppy
If anybody could give me any advice I would be most grateful
Thank you
