[Ntop-misc] nbox86 not booting

[deri at ntop.org]

Matt,
I'm not familiar with your appliance. However all I can tell you is that
you must make sure that the filesystem from which the nbox is booting is
the one you have. For doing this you can add "root=/dev/hdX" to the nBox
bootloader (it's LILO not grub).

Cheers, Luca
