Cannot install Fedora Core 4

[Russell Golden]

nope.
it goes into panic after displaying "VFS: please append a correct 
'root=' boot option" or something to that effect. also says it can't 
find a device, then it gives (8,3), which i'm guessing is a location. 
the message saying it can't find the device comes before the VFS 
message. what is going on here?
