(Note: Extreme thanks to Bryan Feir of CRESTech in Ontario Canada. Without his willingness to spend 10 hours online walking me through the rebuild of the initrd.img files on BOTH the Redhat Install and Boot disks, we would not have been able to install to the Jazz cartridges and the course would have been dead long before we were able to purchase removable HD bays. Thank you again.)
