Disabled all parts in bios not needed (sata/sound/serial, etc)

Same install with Voodoo kernal and no video (device ID not there) and chipset.
Ticked ps/2 keyboard only.

Used same boot codes and didn't get the root device problem, boots to a blue screen with black cursor and stops, seems to be getting better.
