Thanks:  I did manage to get it booted.  It didn't click just what initrd.img
was until your helpful note.  from DOS loadlin with the kernel and the
initrd.img FROM THE INSTALL managed to get it booted.  [There were too many
initrd's running around, and the first two guesses the other day weren't the
right ones.]  BTW, I am at work and may have the stuff slightly wrong, but I
did manage to get RH5.0 booted last night!
