I can't understand what you means. You trasported an UMSDOS pkzipped
installation in a new machine?
If it's true, you have to do TWO think to rewake the new system
1. change loadling.cfg with the new root=/dev/XYZ ...
2. rm /dev/root ; ln -s /dev/XYZ /dev/root
Step 2 requires a working muLinux. Mount the umsdos partition
from the floppy-mulinux and do the changes.
