x86_64 live CD won't boot

[Matthew Saltzman]

The boot process starts on my Thinkpad T61, but stops with:

        WARNING: Cannot find root file system!
        
        Create symlink /dev/root and then exit this shell to continue
        the boot sequence.

The Thinkpad currently has only WinXP Home.  Where should I
point /dev/root?  And why am I seeing this?  I thought part of the point
of the Live CD was so that a Windows user could boot it up and try F7
without making any other mods?

I've run the i686 Live CD with no problem on i686 machines, but they all
had Linux installations.

TIA.
