Could this have something to do with udev? I noticed that if
I enabled the deprecated /dev FS, it broke in a slightly different
manner. I suspect the problem is the FC3 environment expects a
magic combination of kernel options- I just have not been able to
stumble upon them yet...

hmm you need tmpfs enabled but beyond that... can't really think of
anything.
yeah, I just tried it again. Looking at .config, tmpfs is
definitely enabled, but the boot process aborts with:
"Warning: unable to open an initial console."
and thats the last thing it does.
I've tried this on perhaps 3 different makes/models of
x86 systems, all with same results. In each case 'console'
is either local laptop or generic x86 HW. I know this will
be simple when it finally makes sense...

P.S. Also, what has to be enabled in the kernel to support
the grub 'root=LABEL=/' directive? I always have to
supply literal 'root=/dev/hdax' with kernel.org kernels.
Thanks.
