comments?
This is probably me, but I think I'm getting warmer,
so in the off chance that it's of interest.....

TOOLS
Linux 2.0.35 MCA patched
gcc 2.7.2.3
current binutils (2.9.1.0.15 ?)
libc5.4.46 ( .56?, the "last" one)

BOX
umsdos partition on a MCA PS2 486/66 3 SCSI drives
umsdos, Linux, binutils and built zImage are on /dev/sda2.
zImage was built with kernel/gcc/binutils on umsdos,
but *in* /source/linux on an ext2 partition on another
drive. "make symlinks" was faked with cp -a . That is,
the linux and asm "links" are real dirs in /usr/include
cp -a'd from the 2.1.125+ source.

SYMpTOIDS
If I try loadlin zimage root=/dev/sda2 rw
it can't mount root. I then notice, however, that it thinks
sda is sdc, in the boot messages from the kernel. So I try
loadlin zimage root=dev/sdc2 rw and this occurs....
