Today I just gave it a try with root=/dev/hda1 instead of
root=/dev/rd/0.
This gave me the following output (thank you, minicom...):

(null):
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate
superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. The root
file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount it
read-write do:
bash# mount -n -o remount,rw /
Attention: Only CONTROL-D will reboot the system in this
maintanance mode. shutdown or reboot will not work.
