Note that the Debian kernel does not use initrd to boot (to the finally installed system), especially as those tools are built with klibc, which is currently still broken on m68k, and thus contains everything needed to get into an ext3fs / from disc, and then some. I don=E2=80=99t think you should be using a distro kerne= l made under such constraints (nor should the distro kernel be stripped more down considering the problems; I think there may even be flavours that don=E2=80=99t _support_ initrd, outside the image that is) but compile a stripped-down one yourself. > >> You're right, this should be possible to test with ARAnyM - the > >> behavior is not new though.

I don=E2=80=99t know about that; ARanyM has a built-in LILO, so I never saw any TOS (except when using AfrOS, but that=E2=80=99s a whole differ= ent beast)=E2=80=A6 bye, //mirabilos
