Live CD of Fedora 7 Test 1 fails to boot on some machines (propably on 
most of them?) with this error message:

-------------------------------------
WARNING:Cannot find root file system!

Create symlink /dev/root and then exit this shell to continue
the boot sequence.

What is the problem? Is there a possible workaround?
