After installing Gentoo on a C3000 HP Workstation I am having difficulty with PALO.

according to documentation the --commandline for my setup should read

--commandline=2/boot/vmlinux HOME=/ TERM=linux root=/dev/sda2

Where I have no seperate boot partition. However when booting the system it fails to mount the root filesystem

Kernel Panic VFS unable to mount "sda2" for root partition
check root= statement

it's beginning to get on my nerves now.. anyone have a clue on this?

Additional information:

Kernel 2.4.27-pa4

added initrd=2/boot/initrd-2.4.27-pa4 and init="/linuxrc" to the commandline still no joy.
