you da man.  i de-selected the 8250 stuff, and VT, and my load line was
nothing more than:

Linux/PPC load: console=ttyS0,9600        [EP's PlanetCore loader]

(which would, of course, crash and burn as soon as it tried to find an
init-like program, but who cares?)

the results:

Linux/PPC load: console=ttyS0,9600
Uncompressing Linux...done.

at which point it hung, but at least that's progress.  i suspect i'm
getting closer and closer to the point where i really do have to take
into account the custom nature of this board, but first, i'll see if i
can get any farther without descending into that kind of madness.
