Here is where I am at. It goes through a lot of stuff after loading vmlinuz and
the initrd files. I would like to be able to stop those screens and see if there
is any indication in there that something is not right, but I can not do so or
do not know how. I have tried all of the usual stuff and no luck.
I will start about 5 lines prior to where the error takes place.

And that is as far as she gets.
I suspect from the 'block device required' that something is amiss between
the floppy format and the CF card format.
