I think it's probably hanging because the built-in BIOS extension takes up
too much memory. Can you try a newer version of SYSLINUX or using loadlin
instead?
The kernel patches won't help you get it booting, but you may to be able to
use the flash card from within Linux - it was the first device ever
supported by the MTD code, although I had a 4MiB version. If the bitrot
hasn't got to it yet, try doc1000.c - you may need to hardcode the size of
the device and the physical location at which it's found.
You'll also want to enable FTL (not NFTL).
