[ILUG] redhat5.1(manhatten) boot up problems:(

first of all, im nearly sure ive sent this to the wrong place:( sorry.


Ive got rh5.1 and i installed it on /dev/hdb1. but my 3.5in drive is not
working, so i cant but the kernel on a disk to boot up from, and my lilo, 
doesnt seen to want to install for me:(.

My rh CDROM is bootable, but i dont know the correct command line
parameters to boot up on the hd,
ive tried the 
 root=/dev/hdb1
, but the error i got is: 
 Could not find kernel image: root=/de.v/h
i guess thats not usual?

and ive tried linux root=..  and mout root=..
but they did not work, either i was told no kernel there, or it would
boot up into the cdrom installation

I am sure that i put it on hdb1

Does any one know the proper boot-up line parameter?
