This was a few months ago so my memory is a little fuzzy. The patch I used I downloaded from M-systems. I mucked around with it to try and find why the command line got mangled and discovered that it passes the command line correctly when I booted from a hard drive (the hd was a mirror image of the DoC) or from a floppy with the DoC as root, so I'm pretty sure it is not the patch. I gave up in frustration and hard coded the command line I wanted into the kernel. I'd like a better solution, so if you find one please let me know. -- Ralph A.
