OK, that gets me to a liveCD prompt.  But I also get errors that the
audio devices and network devices weren't detected.  My "personal
project" is going to be a home-built Smoothwall/IPcop type device, so
I don't really care about audio.  However, the network devices are
essential.  `net-setup eth0' runs, but does really configure anything.
The only device that exists afterwards is lo.  Do I need to `modprobe'
something?  Is that likely what's causing the kernel to fail with the
hardware detect?
