Jens, when you built those miboot floppies that worked, what command line options did you use ? We currently have : root=0200 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=1 devfs=mount and : root=0200 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=1 devfs=mount video=ofonly Also, could you give those daily built floppies a try, since you where able to make it work previously ?
