as i just emailed tom on the side, duh, i took his previous note
stupidly literally, and selected *only* the options he listed.  i
figured out pretty quickly to also select the "Support for console on
CPM2 ..." and, lo and behold, i have kernel boot output on my rpxlite
board.  whew.

so now i get as far as:

RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Freeing unused kernel memory: 72k init
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!


i suspect this is also some silly misconfiguration.  off to track it
down.
