RH7.3 on 486

Hi all

Trying to make me a LAMP server using RH7.3 on an old 486
of mine at home. I thought that the HDD detection etc would be a problem....
Before I could even get to that, I picked up problems with the CDROM that
cannot be put in the boot-sequence for that motherboard.

SO I had to go the boot-disk-from-rawrite way :

Create bootdisk on another machine.
Bootseq starts. I cannot report if I can see anything about picking up
a CDROM ( I cant read that quickly ! )
Eventually it starts running RH init ver 7.2
It then gets to:  running /sbin/loader
Install exited abnormally....received signal 11

and then proceeds to shutdown.

I suspect that it cannot see the CDROM.

I tried the following images:
boot.img
oldcdrom.img ( here it reports that it cannot boot of it ; reading the
readme
                        it sounds as if this is only drivers )

Has anyone got some experience getting RH on a 486-DX2-50.
All slots are ISA bus. 32 M memory.
