 That's it !! There is a setting called "VME3PCI Master Master Enable".
 This is the culprit for the kernel not booting. It must be set to 'N'
 for the kernel to boot. (That, and setting the PReP mode correctly,
 as discussed previously on the list). The kernel now comes up, as
 it should !

 Well, I'm still having a problem for the kernel to gain access to
 the NFS server - but that seems a minor issue. (They talk to each
 other, but the NFS server is reluctant in giving access - /etc/exports
 seems to be correct).
 
 I'll keep you posted about our progress.
