Ehm, sorry, I can also mount it. But the last few times I tried to wget base2_2.tar (debian base) on it, it oopses immediately. As the system is a kernel plus initrd on a floppy, I can't catch the oops. At the moment I try to build a kernel which decodes the oops by itself and provide it to you (if it still oopses). Problem is that the kernel gets too big, so now I try to wget the big kernel and boot it from out of the initrd. It is really great to be able to pull latest versions from BK and play with it. I'll report success or failure. Thanks again!
