Boot vmlinux trouble (sendmsg returned error 128)

[Roald Lygre]

I'm having the problem described on this mailing list in January by Chad
Carlin:

 sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3 sdb4

VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: Cannot open root device 02:00
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:00


My system is a R4600 100Mhz.

It is not clear from the mailing list archive how/where to get a kernel that
works in this case?
