Oops. Sorry for this and thanks for the report.
The very availability of ISO images was undocumented until now and
this was the first one that got to the FTP mirrors.
It looks like we need someone to test the -current ISO's that are
going to be generated every few weeks. If anyone wants to volunteer
for this job, please let me know. ;-)
I've just fixed this ramdisk inode count problem and generated a new
ISO image. I've also committed the updated installation instructions
(Owl/doc/INSTALL) which document installation from the CD.

You have three options:
1. Try today's ISO image. Maybe use a CD-RW this time. ;-)
2. Boot your existing (broken) Owl CD with init=/bin/sh and hack from
there.
3. Use another Linux installation (on your hard disk or a suitable CD)
and install Owl from there.
Of course I would appreciate it if you try the latest and let us know
if it works for you.
