If more info is needed, here's the end of the log:

* looking for ide media
* looking for scsi media
* SCSI/2: sr0 is a NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:465
* looking for Compaq Smart Array media
* looking for DAC960
* unsetting automatic
* have to insmod floppy
* needs floppy
* ...succeeded floppy
* /dev/fd0 type: H1440
* ...track: 0
* mounting /dev/fd0 on /tmp/floppy as type ext2
* mount failed: Invalid argument


That last bit is where it's telling me that either my CD drivers or the controller drivers are not found, so I need to insert a floppy that has them. Too bad I can't find a single mention of Linux drivers for that drive.
