yes it is good progress to have the fb penguin and some boot messages show
up :)

yes it is compiled out, I didnt know it may cause problems, but I thought
that now I didnt need bootx any more I could get rid of it anyway.

Now when I add the pci ide suport I get a repeatable kernel panic on boot
every time I boot. I typed out the dump, but wont look at tracking it down
just yet, first I will try to work out a way to get hold of a 2.2.14 paulus
tree or similar and see what that does.
