I was using the wrong root partition, the kernel tried to use /dev/hda6
instead of the cdrom, so I replaced
root=/dev/hda6 in zImage.prep with root=/dev/hdb.

Now the problem is that CRUX depends on devfs, which isn't enabled in
the stock prep kernel.

Does anyone have a prep kernel that includes devfs support?
Both Linux 2.4 and Linux 2.6 kernels would be appreciated (is Linux 2.6
supported by qemu-system-ppc yet?)

Thanks,
Tilman
