[Grml] Boot grml without CD ends with "No init found"

Hello

I have a Proliant DL380G3 that I would like to boot without a CD. The
instructions
(http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=tips&s=tohd#boot_grml_without_cd)
seem clear enough, but alas I'm not successful yet.

From the grml cdrom grub screen I can "grml noeject
fromhd=/dev/cciss/c0d0p3" and boot successfully. From the grub screen
on /dev/cciss/c0d0 I'm not so successful. Soon after displaying the
"GRML" ASCII art I get the nasty error:
"No init found. Try passing init= bootarg."
and a busybox prompt, not a grml prompt. Maybe the initrd borked?

Any help with achieving a grml prompt would be appreciated.

Regards

Fog_Watch.

Please consider using grml-rescueboot. You just have to place an iso
image in /boot/grml and run update-grub afterwards and everything will
be setup auomtatically.

Ok, just a guess, add boot=live ignore_bootid to the parameters.

This is an old version. Please consider switching to Grml 2011.05
