Not sure why the Redhat floppy wouldn't boot...

But the reason that the Suse bootloader wouldn't work is that Redhat
uses an initrd to boot up. I don't remember the command line exactly,
but I think it something like initrd=3D/boot/initrd.2.4.22-8 -- can
someone running Redhat pull this from /etc/grub.conf?
