It doesn't seem to work... I spent some time trying different command-line options, without success -- the included quik.conf lists all options I tried ; maybe you'll see something else to try. The error I get is always the same: cramfs: wrong magic Kernel panic: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00 (or 01:01 with root=/dev/ram1). I tried to create my own cramfs image with mkcramfs from the root.bin that is included on the CD image -- I get the same error, although cramfsck doesn't complain about the magic number... must be quik-specific As for bootx, the root.bin that is on the CD image is booting fine on an OldWorld -- I didn't use the installer further than "Get a shell", though.
